Caddy - Lowering

[krezlic]

Hi,

Has anyone here lowered their caddy using either the KW, Eibach, or V-MAXX Kits?
My question in regards to this is they all seem to share the KW rear flip kit.

Is this kit legal in Australia? It seems that Eibach Australia is selling them and doesn't seem to think its an issue. I just was curious in regards to it.

I actually have put the Eibach Kit on my caddy and its 100mm clear so im not sure if i need to worry much more about it or not.

Looks awesome!

Can't see why it would be illegal, as you mentioned you have > 100mm clearance so should be all good

+1 Looks sweet. I wouldn't bother if you've got 100mm clearance. I have less than that under my Caddy as it's had a 3 1/2" drop. It's on its way to getting airbags though so no more hitting the sub frame on the ground.

There are a few things you need to be aware of when lowering a vehicle.

1. Minimum ground clearance. Remember, this is to ANYTHING of the car. They can measure the clearance with the suspension on the bump stops.

2. Clearance of any body and suspension/wheel/moving component (i.e. guards, suspension, sub-frame, etc.).

3. Minimum bump stop clearance. You will find that cutting the bump rubbers down to get the clearance will not pass.
