Re: My Pimped out Caddy 2k and my NEW Coilover Kit...
I've just looked up the price of that KW kit.
€1499
I wish I had that kind of money to spend!
Maybe I'll start saving coz they really are the best IMO.

Re: My Pimped out Caddy 2k and my NEW Coilover Kit...

also how does it handle?

Re: mspinola
Interested to hear you comments about the ride of your new coilovers? For that money they would need to be dam good, and by that I mean very applicable to our UK roads and very well damped...... not rock solid hard as per most coilovers !!!!! Would like my van lowered but probably on the softest setting !!!!!
Cheers mate !!!!

To be that low and have compliant ride is unlikely - otherwise wheels would bottom out on inner arches - just isn't the room for vertical movement mate.

Re: mspinola
I understand completely what your saying dubvan, but if I were going the coilovers route I wouldn't be lowering it as low as it could go, just enough to make it look 'right' and have as 'good' a ride as possible cause I'm an old fart now...... someone who still wants something to look good, but ride quality is the 'MORE' important of the two for me. Although having said that I'm not nieve enough to think it wont be substantially firmer than standard but for me it would be a compromise. I have fitted good quality kits to my Subaru's before (EXE-TC and AST's) and although they lower the car, are well enough designed (with our UK roads in mind) and built and were more complaint on our UK roads than ANY other coilover kit I have ever sat in.... I hope what I'm saying here is clear........
I would be happy enough with the appearance of just a spring kit but I have never been happy with any 'spring only' kits I've ever had in the past, cause they always (in cars anyway) seemed to give you a very 'bouncy' ride as the springs and shocks weren't designed to go with each other, hence the reason I would go for coilovers......
Nice caddy by the way mate !!!!
Cheers !
