Rear Lowering Kit

[asr_933]

Hey guys!

Is there anyone in Sydney looking to lower their caddy and wanting to share the postage for some Darkside lowering shackles?

There are 2 guys from Melboune but ordering 3 kits puts the value over $1000 and will probably attract some import tax. So have to stick to 2.

Or has anyone had any previous experience importing over the $1000 Mark?

Looking to order ASAP!

Cheers

What sort of deal can they do for 2 kits? I assume due to their weight postage costs wont be much different?

[asr_933]

I wasn't emailing them directly was just getting passed on info. But Darkside was doing 3 kits at 135 pounds and 4 kits 130pounds each usually 150.

Possibly 140 each.

Just thought if I was ordering a lot might as well save a few bucks.

Do you need one or know someone who does?

[psyone]

I do need 1. I'll be ordering Gaz shocks from Uk soon.

[asr_933]

Are they shocks or coilovers? Have you got a link so can check them out? I was just going to get the H&R springs.

But if you're keen for a rear kit we can save a few $$$

How soon are you looking to order? Im reluctantly holding out until until after I see if the tax man gives me some money back.

[psyone]

They are coilovers. Not too sure about front shocks but rears have damper adjustment on them. Gaz custom builds them to order. I just contacted them via their websitr and got a quote. They work out to be under 1000aud so i wont need to pay import duties i think but i gotta check to make sure

[psyone]

Exchanged few email with Mark from Gaz shocks. Got quoted £270 for front shocks, £50 for springs and £110 for rears plus £95 shipping. Will be placing order pretty soon so will need to order rear flip kit also.

[asr_933]

Hmmm......wish I had the extra cash to spend on coil overs. I think I'll be happy with the springs and from whatcive heard the ride will be a lot nicer. Let me know when you're ready to order and we'll sort something out if you're keen?

[asr_933]

Just emailing back and forth with Danny from Darkside getting prices, will let ya know what the go is as soon as I sort it.

[psyone]

awesome

[asr_933]

Ok so here we go.

Danny is doing 10% off and a bit cheaper postage.

Rear kit normally 150 pounds = 135 pounds
My springs usually 90 = 81 pounds
Postage = 117 pounds of which 100 is for the shackles so I'll pay the extra.

So your component is 185 pounds. Assuming we get the exchange rate Google says it's $367. From my experience its usually a bit more. Maybe $370.

Let me know what you think.

[grtuned]

What model caddy are we talking about?
I'm interested in the order $370 isn't to bad.

[psyone]

Im just waiting on the $$$$ to come in from few jobs and i'll be ready to order.

@grtuned, these will fit swb caddy +2004 i believe.

[grtuned]

Do you have a link to attach.
I've got a 2013 just need to make sure of compatibility I don't think there is any difference but is like to confirm.
Cheers Rick.

This is for a shackle kit only. You still need to get shortened rear shocks and something for the front, either coilovers or springs. link to the kitDarkside Developments - VW Caddy Mk3 Van Rear Lowering Kit / Leaf-Spring Adjusters (http://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/vw-caddy-mk3-van-rear-lowering-kit-leaf-spring-adjusters.html)

[asr_933]

Pretty sure shortened rear shocks aren't a necessity?

[psyone]

Well it depends on how low you go. i think they ok for something with just springs which give around 40mm.

[asr_933]

Fair call

Cheers.
I'm out FTM I have 19" on the caddy ATM need to wear these tires before I drop to a 18" then lower. Few more months away for me.
After checking out the site Darkside looks like the place to buy from.

[asr_933]

Not happy with 19's? Any pics?

[psyone]

Asr_993, im ready to order. When are you planning to order ?

[asr_933]

Was just thinking about asking you the same thing. I'm good to go. I'll put the order through, ask for separate invoices and then once I have the final figure I'll give you my bank details.

Does that sound ok?

[psyone]

yea sounds good, or i can drop off the cash. I'm in Waterloo

[asr_933]

Oh boom. I'm in Randwick. Nice and handy. I'll get into it ASAP.
