Eibach make fantastic kit so I've no doubt they are good on the caddy. How do they lower the back?

Ok this was a question I was going to ask and maybe might be able to give a answer (sort of). Eibach Caddy installation instructions link... http://www.dvsegmbh.info/PDF/einbau/120 ... -02-22.PDF refer to the end for rear install photos.

So it seems they also flip the axle and that prompts my question; is the only way to lower the rear the "flip axle method" or "FAM". I've been searching the forum and it appears to be the method used (apart from a air-ride + 4-link setup of course).

Also notice the "KW" sticker on the plate in the Eibach installation photos. Are they related?

eibach uses the kw rear bits minus the shocks, very good kit

I've had a price of £440 plus vat for kit and to fit it, does that sound like a good price anyone?
