vw caddy lowering springs

Hey just wondering if anyone can tell me how to lower the rear end of a mk1 caddy pick up? do i need new leaf springs? if so where can i get them? thanks Daz

hi your rear beam/axle is mounted below your leafsprings u need to remove beam cut mounting saddles from top of beam and re weld them to bottom of beam then u can mount beam on top of springs  job done

Daz - Join up on the Caddy forum (http://www.vwcaddyforum.com/). Loads of info there (I'm on under the same user name - m6m62). What 3piece says is correct though.

You also need shorter shocks when flipping the axle,most use beetle shocks (early 60's I think) which are very cheap from eurocarparts but I think FK etc also make proper shocks for lowered caddys.

Caddyforum will give you all the knowledge you'll need  

Daz,

I've moved this post from the chat section to here and deleted the unanswered post as it was duplicated.
