It has leaf springs in the rear though! may be time to do some heating

I can remember using lowering blocks with longer U bolts on my Valiants, a long, long time ago.

Yeah the axle is underneath the springs though and you can't swap them round. Already checked. :)

Just looking for front springs, i can get the single leaf in the rear re-set by the suspension place in town, they do a top job.

most big brands do the front springs only, you can get H&R from TCCA Motorsports in Sydney

You can also get a bit of info on this page, contains a bit of info on the Caddy below

Hey Preen59,

we had an orange Caddy on our stand on the weekend at the VW nats. This one had H&R Coil overs in the front and reset rear leaf spring.Lowering achieved 80mm. You can see it in the pics from the Nats
Owner has another Caddy which we lowered with a set of H&R springs. Lowering achieved 55mm. This one does not look as good, but it drives nicer and is more comfortable.
Also, when lowering the car, you have to take in consideration, what happens with control arms and other suspension components, and bushings..
Sometimes, less is more;)
