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.
