Ordered Bilstein B14 coilovers + rear shock absorbers... can't wait to see it lowered

You should put a subwoofer and some TV monitors in the back, it'll go really nice with the carpet!

Bilstein coilovers in!

Next up some vinyl graphics ... still on the hunt for better seats. And maybe a steering wheel.

[Lemonskin]

Haha this Caddy is awesome. How much have you spent on it?

how much were Bilstein coilovers and where did you get them done at ?

[Philheg]

I have a set of those bilsteins on the way from the darkside developments in the uk. How's the handling with these on?

[nicholas787]

Also curious on where you sourced the CO's from.
AND What setup is it running in the rear?

Thanks

Hi all

I got the rear leaf spring flip kit from darkside developments in the UK. I got the 'super low' one so the rear wheel remains centred.
I got the bilstein B14 front coilovers + rear shocks from BMR Autowerkes in Sydney.

The front coilovers are on the lowest setting, the rear can go lower but am happy with it. Ride comfort is good, although the rear leaf springs will always ride like a b*tch unladened.

I am hoping to get some Golf R brakes soon. They will look much better behind the 19" wheels but also I find the stock brakes a bit spongy at times!

Here is a recent pic:

i like how that sits ! i have a pair of mk5 gti calipers and carriers but i cant use them on my caddy as i need to replace the hubs. didnt know that when i was buying them !

[Philheg]

I cheaped out on the bilstein rear shocks... Big mistake it's like a bouncing castle at the moment until I get them sorted!!

A few updates but no pics!

Managed to pick up a complete Mk6 GTi interior, obviously only wanted the front seats. Unbolted passenger seat to find the rails are ever so slightly different. Shame cause GTi seats were one of the first things I wanted to do, but now I don't know if I can be bothered mucking around making them fit.

I've always found braking in the car pretty average. This should be resolved next month when I put some Golf R front brakes on

Also found someone to wrap the caddy at a good price. Will be happening in about 6 weeks.

I imported some seacond hand Touran seat bases from Germany. They are much cheaper than getting then from the UK and the MK6 GTi seats bolt straight on. You don't loose any height. Well worth the extra expense as it only cost me about $250 with shipping.

Pretty sure i've seen your van getting round the peninsula lately.

Are you selling the gti seats?
