Looking to lower my caddy with the v maxx kit and have seen alot of vans where the rear wheel has moved forward
Does this happen on all settings and get worse the lower you go?
I know darkside do a extra low kit to keep the wheel central but didnt really want to pay £150 extra.
What settings are people on and how much have the rear wheels moved?
Any pics with details of rear settings?

Re: Keeping rear wheel central when lowered?
Remember, this is really only a problem if your running the van empty. If you load up the rear the leaf spring elongates and pushes the wheel back. Some who use the van for work but have it lowered don't bother with the plates.

MK4 Golf is exactly the same, mine was on air and at full drop the rear wheels would tuck forward...I think it looks kinda cool...shows off your lows

We fit a lot of vmaxx and only one van didn't need the plates.

Very Tempted to buy a set of these, my tires are pretty close to the front of the arch.
Mines rarely has much weight in it .
How difficult are they to fit ?

Does it matter what setting its on? I take it, it gets worse the lower you go?Matt@Reflex wrote:We fit a lot of vmaxx and only one van didn't need the plates.
