I bought the disc type axle end plates from Retrofication and narrowed my axle at the same time, I now have 9x16 rims on the back of my Caddy 👌

If we had known about the plates before we got it all powder coated we would have gone down the same route 👍

Yes you can definitely start to visualise it now 😁 thanks for watching

Once the bags are full of air and properly aired out it will drop some more, had same thing recently and it actually does work, the bags fold in on themselves, but need to be aired up and then aired out first. 🤙🏻

Yeah we've noticed that before too going a bit lower once they've had a proper stretch 👍

Definitely would go for a much smaller tyre.

Thanks 😁 I tried slimming it down to under 30 mins but all the talking in it I couldn't find anything I wanted to delete 🤷‍♂️

Cheers mate 😁 yes clearly alot of development has gone into the kit, very impressed

In South Africa if you want more lows, the best option is to buy 165/40/15 or 165/45/15 tyres. It will sit more flush and you have a 7J rim so it will be the best tyre option.

We have swapped tyres, we didnt want to go too skinny as it's got 200+bhp so needs to have some traction aswel as looking cool. All in the next episode 😁

What bags are used on the rear? Can't find any info on them anywhere, just curious where one would get replacements should something happen to them. Love the content👌

@SuperRon 4 ай бұрын

Im not sure on the rear bags to be honest, they came with the kit. I'm sure only charged Dubs could tell you if you message them

@christoffer1973 5 ай бұрын

Look like thos who weld it didn't think. Don't need to cut and weld, they should just flip it 180 degree. KW lower kit to mk1 Caddy instructions says that to. If I had my Caddy I would also put air ride. Look great.

Just checking, any chance the lower bag mount brackets were on the reversed left to right causing the alignment issues?

@SuperRon 5 ай бұрын

We did consider that as the bag holes are offset, but one had the watts linkage mount on and one mounts to the shock so they can't be swapped side to side .

@@SuperRon Nice one - loving the build.

Front wheels you have very little options with the porker wheels narrower tyres on the 6j but on the rear if you keep the drum brakes you could re drill the drum to the 5x130 and lose the spacer or if going discs cut the axle down to lose the extra 25mm for the spacer and you should get the porker wheels on the back 👍

@SuperRon 5 ай бұрын

Good shout about re drilling the drums, never thought of that. I think we have it under control though, we've swapped tyre sizes
