Some of you might of seen my Caddy



Now im still not happy with the ride height, im toying with the idea of ditching my KW springs and going down the KW coilover route

Thing stopping me is the price tag they come with

But the effect would be



Would you? If it made you happy to own it alot more, regardless of cost?

Looks fine as it is tbh, it would look nice dropped a tad but its a work van is it not? Tires with a bigger sidewall would be better

It's a van, not a scene car so I would leave it as it is.

I have KW coilovers and they are the best!!! amazing difference from all the shocks and spring kits i've had. I would get some and worry about the cost later, at least you won't be driving about wondering what it would be like with them

The Most weight the back ever gets is about 200kg and that's with 1 mower and 1 scarifier and blower etc

It's more of a tool carrier for me as I have use of a transit tipper for materials and waste

Did you get the idea of that plug in that location from Dooka's van?



As for the question - leave it as is. Especially if you do ever work anywhere that involves rough / country roads, speed humps etc or carry a fair bit of weight.

Also a slammed van doesn't necessarily set the right example depending on your clients!
