Re: Lowering kit
I'm sure wolfsburg vans are based in Manchester. Might be worth while giving these a shout.

Re: Lowering kit
Darkside offer pretty good service as well but not too sure how far they will be from you.
Just out of curiosity how much are you lowering your caddy and on what size wheels and tyres?

Re: Lowering kit
I 2nd darkside, been using them for a few years now and the service is second to none. Great bunch of guys, it's an absolute road trip for me being down south, but been so worth it. Even the aftercare has been spot on

Re: Lowering kit
Buy a kit over the Internet whether from darkside or elsewhere and get your local garage to fit it.
There's nothing complicated about it so any garage that owns a spanner set will be able to do it.
Darkside are in Barnsley so certainly not round the corner from you.
I would think awesome gti in Irlam should be able to sort you out if you want a drive in drive out service.

Re: Lowering kit
Fitted Darkside and eibach spring kit kit, you need to replace the rear dampers too.
The stock dampers are too short, when lowered and mine were well shot, with little top end rebound. New ones much better!
