VW Caddy Mk3 / Mk4 Rear Lowering Kit / Leaf-Spring Adjusters

Fits Caddy Mk3 / Mk4 2K Van Rear Axle (FWD & 4Motion)

Our lastest design combines both our previous low and super low kits

Fully adjustable height options from ~50mm - ~100mm

Hidden shackles and more ground clearance

CNC Laser Cut and Zinc Electroplated to prevent corrosion

Shackle Support Blocks to reduce side to side axle movement

The Lowering Kit allows you to flip the rear axle on your Caddy 2K Van and then adjust the ride height to suit
This kit will also fit Maxi and 4Motion models
Our new kit has been designed to accommodate all ride heights keeping the rear wheel as central as possible in the arch
Our twin location plates allow the rear axle to be moved back on lower applications where the wheel is bought towards the front of the wheel arch
They are full adjustable with 6 different height options. The beauty of this setup is that you can adjust the height as many times as you like by simply adjusting 2 bolts. Perfect if you like to run low but still want the option of carrying some weight. If you do not want so many options, you can cut the plates down to your desired length
One of the features we have kept on our new kit to keeping the length of the rear hangers short allowing them to tuck behind the rear bumper. This also aids ground clearance as we found the old 'low kit' shackles hung quite low, which could cause problems going up steep driveways or kerbs

We also have available front lowering springs and coilovers to fit alongisde this rear lowering kit. Please see links below.

This kit consists of:

4 x Adjustable Shackle Plates (2 per side)
6 x Axle Sandwich Plates (3 Per Side)
8 x Hi-Tensile Bolts
8 x Nyloc Nuts
16 x Washers
2 x Shackle Support Blocks

PLEASE NOTE - This kit is for 'Off Road Use' Only

Once fitted you may notice side to side movement in the rear axle, this movement is normal and present from factory but not usually noticeable with the stock wheels and ride height. With the van lowered the wheel becomes closer to the body to this movement is highlighted and easier to notice, more so with aftermarket wheels that protude further from the arch

The parts are CNC Laser Cut and then Zinc Electroplated to prevent corrosion
