My Caddy Van

[Oneofthegreats]

Nice Preeny.

Look forward to seeing them fitted & also the stance you set up on the van.

You'll have to do a write up on your thought's of KW's & if there worth it or not.

I reckon they are & you won't be dissapointed one bit.

There's some twisties about 5 K's from the workshop. Aydan has been up them, i took him in his car when he came down. So I'll do a full write up on them compared to the standard suspension.

This will include:

Bump stability.

Braking stability and performance.

Entry grip on/off brakes/throttle, high and low speed.

Midcorner grip and stability on/off throttle aswell as midpoint balance control.

Exit corner grip. I'm hoping for an improvement in power exit understeer due to a lower centre on gravity.

And i'm guessing the shocks are stiffer, probably with more rebound resistance, which would also improve the power understeer issue.

All that said, i'd say that the van should have more grip all round, because i'm guessing the shocks are more handling oriented and less of a ride/handling compromise. Also, if you haven't noticed, the front springs are rising rate.

Nice work Preeny good to hear you went with the KW's I haven't driven the mk3 in 3 months so I can't remember what they are like

Yeah they were by far the best kit available if you can afford it.

Yeah well i haven't driven my mk1 in about 2 years! So don't complain!

Very nice. Look forward to hearing what you think of them. I know I was stoked with mine as has every one else been...
