Brilliant project Dan and amazing to see the transformation from a white van to something to be proud off. Thanks for taking the time to post all the videos and apologies for only catching up now ..... my business got a bit busy as all my customers gardens started growing so time just ran away from me. Shall look forward to the final buff and clean up. Spoke to your mate Andy at Transporter HQ to get my T6.1 booked in for the Bilstein B14 Comfort modification. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You know this business well, my brother. The steering wheel is on the right, it looks different, but you have made a very nice machine. Greetings from Turkey.

[@paultaylor9652]

Looks very impressive, you should put a before and after pic up in the same shot.

[@doxter2133]

Quick tip Dan just put coilovers on my caddy and I’ve left the standard shackle in place get more lows;)

[@bibliothequepalestine6834]

Great job , my caddy 2012 needs to be upgraded like yours :)

[@anumrabadam9678]

[@DanChambersDAC]

Gracias amigo, me alegro que lo hayas disfrutado!

[@bigmacsnoobselectronicsrep8032]

Fantastic video as always if it will pass an mot with those sleeves on then guess what their legal and that’s the way the cookie crumbles 👍🏻

[@Retirement_Life]

Really enjoyed this build, Dan! What next?

[@weasleyp1]

Sweet 👌👌👌

[@billsheehy1660]

Dan, try this Car Suspension Strut Spreader Socket Tool For Volkswagen, works really well and can use on any setup like this. Love this set up for suspension.

[@dazlee]

Just finished watching it. Great vid. Engine swap next lol

[@volvojakt623]

Nice caddy

[@liamglover4794]

Get it up on a raffle for one us to win 👍

[@idontlike.4881]

Lol, your passenger side is on the wrong side, bruv!😁 Liked the vid man!🤘🏻

[@grahamwiltshire2407]

Sick

[@adiehull]

Looks awesome 👌🏼 needs some MK4 rear lights though dude

[@mirrorlessmedia1536]

Awesome work and build Dan Did you fit wobble blocks? I’ve got the vmaxx but not fitted yet, I’ve fitted gaz shocks on the rear of mine and hate em!!

[@kashkhan6425]

It makes for a massive improvement in looks lowering it, did you find the adjustable drop links necessary?

[@adepalethorpe2196]

Looks mint Dan, really enjoyed your videos mate it’s a shame it’s all over. What’s next???!!!!

[@raying11]

Looks great , don't forget to fit front number plate lol

[@martinkirton9608]

Great video as always, Just watched you finish the rear. However, shouldn't that bottom plate, be the other way around to follow the curve of the leaf spring ? I'm probably wrong, just that would make more sense. Looking forward to the next one !

[@krzysaudi1]

Super :)

[@blackjack9863]

Looks very nice. 👍 Which wheels , tyres and dimension are they 😊

[@martingilvray06]

❤ the Dan Van , if your going to do this to your Van , remember tyre burn , Pro Sport. Racing adjustable plate ball joints a must fit or you will get 3 hundred miles a tyre on the front at over ninety. M1 Ghost 👻.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Cheers bud. I sold the van about a week after I finished it!

[@martingilvray06]

@@DanChambersDAC It was to let others know Bud , it seems to be a big issue when the suspension is lowered on the caddy’s and cam adjusters cam bolts after market , drive you mentally ill before you get it right and the Ghost is not pretty but stupidity fast , and I have had tyre burn blow outs at one thirty’s plus , Good build Dan on the Caddy you have inspired Lads and that’s what is all about ✅✅✅✅ .

[@robweatherhead9135]

Well. Filth that. Well done.

[@MrRedhedged]

Great video. How did you get on with these long term.

[@andrearuggeri583]

Wow, very compliments Dan. If possible to know, which kit did you use? How many mm lowered?

[@meikbernschneider8442]

Hi Dan. I'm from Germany. Nice series from the caddy. How I can bye this golden plate betwin the axel.?

[@Gutter121]

Hi dan what is the make of that battery starter you used had it wrote down but lost it thanks paul

[@danbentley4146]

Awesome video as always, vans turned out great!! Where are you located?

[@garyjones5786]

Dan. What size rims and tyres do you have on the caddy. They look amazing. Looking to fit some to my 2006 caddy..

[@alexdennison6265]

😍😍 yes that’s tidy as, what height is the front coilovers set at?

[@Philunited]

Dan need some advise my passenger side rear seems to sit lower than the drivers side rear y would that be thanks

[@harrysimmons6536]

Do you have to do anything with the rear drop links

[@lewisblackford7883]

What size wheels you have? I think you should upgrade the rear lights to the newer ones.

[@TheIggy861]

Hi mate, did this make the handling a lot better my van feels floaty front end

[@dazlee]

Omg I was just gonna ask you when you’re lowering your van.

[@andredesmo]

Great job and video Dan. Did you never install this (or equivalent) kit on Caddys CNG (Ecofuel or TGI)? Asking because looks impossible find this information online

[@DanChambersDAC]

Hi Budd, Sorry this is the only Caddy I have ever worked on.

[@davechadwick3213]

Dan you forgot to mention the door guys.... any mugs int shop yet?

[@nufc-kq6ps]

Hi what are the front coilovers and rear shocks ??

[@harrysimmons6536]

Where did you get the rear lowering kit from

[@Jazzmanden]

Do you have image stabilisation on your camera for a chance?!

[@christopherredwood5109]

Cracking job on that van mate 👌 how much did you cut off the bump stops?

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you! I think I halved them.

[@smayberry87]

Shallow sump next ?

[@steverecka375]

Put a boot build and r tsi conversion 💪

[@lewisrigley9059]

Hi mate where did you get the drop plates from please

[@DanChambersDAC]

Hi, they were part of the V-Maxx kit and the relocation plates were from Forge Motorsport I think

[@HAZYFALKIRK]

looks good, prefer comfort tho, must be getting old;(

[@exuptoy]

Are the multi hole drop plates fitted to enable rear adjustment in the last view or were you still waiting for them to arrive. It looks banging mate..Perfect!

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you! Yes they mulithole plates allow you to raise or lower the rear end.

[@exuptoy]

@@DanChambersDAC cheers for the reply, what I meant was, was yours sat on the original leaf spring mount in the last picture as you were waiting for them to arrive, or were they actually fitted and just in its lowest setting?.

[@sretlawgerg]

Also wondering this Anyone have a lowered measurement of just flipping the axle without fitting the adjuster plates?
