Looking to lower your VW Caddy without ruining the ride? Whether you drive a Mk3, Mk4, or Caddy Maxi, coilovers are still the best option for getting that ultra street stance without the downsides of cheap lowering springs or overly stiff setups.
But not all coilovers are created equal. Here's what to watch out for – and how to choose a kit that works for your van, your roads, and your budget.
Why Coilovers Are the Best Suspension Upgrade for the VW Caddy
Coilovers give you the freedom to dial in the exact ride height you want – from mild drop to ultra-low stance. More importantly, a well-designed kit will improve how your Caddy handles, corners, and carries weight, without sacrificing comfort on daily drives.
If you’ve got a work van, camper conversion, or weekend show build, the right coilover kit can transform both look and feel.
Caddy Coilovers – What to Look For
Here’s what separates the good kits from the gimmicks:
-
Street-Ready Comfort
If you’re daily driving your Caddy, you’ll need a kit that’s soft enough for UK roads, but firm enough to reduce roll and squat. Cheap kits often miss the mark – delivering a bouncy or crashy ride. -
Rear Setup Compatibility
Caddy vans use a torsion beam rear setup with spring seats and separate dampers. Make sure your kit is designed specifically for the Caddy platform – not just a universal Golf kit with dodgy fitment. -
Load Tolerance
If you regularly carry tools, gear, or camper equipment, check the rear axle weight rating. Some ultra-low kits sag badly when loaded. Stanced UK® kits are properly rated and tested for usable drop and support. -
Corrosion Protection
With our roads and winters, rust is a real threat. Look for powder-coated struts and zinc-treated hardware – not bare metal or painted budget parts. -
No Fake Features
You don’t need 32-way adjustable damping or flashy gimmicks. You need real-world-tested damping and a setup tuned for the street.
Caddy Stance Without the Stress
One of the best things about the Caddy is how good it looks with a solid drop – even on stock wheels. A 40–90mm drop up front and 40–80mm at the rear gives you that ultra stance without sacrificing clearance or usability.
Want to go lower? You’ll need to modify your bump stops, adjust damper travel, and potentially notch the rear axle. For most owners though, a quality coilover kit gives more than enough drop to transform the van – and still keep it practical.
