Reflex Silver Caddy (66)

Finally got round to fitting the Whiteline rear sway bar. Bought this way back around the black friday sales, as it had 30% off I think. However, the constant rain and cold put me off rolling about on the floor.
Anyway, a free dry day today, so I decided to get it fitted (I’d actually forgot I bought it),

That’s a stunning van! How are those coilovers? Have you noticed much change from the rear antiroll bar? I had one on an old Astra vxr a few years back and it was a huge improvement.

[Dav02]

Thanks m8
The coilovers are brilliant.
Only had one drive out since fitted the anti roll bar. Hard to say if I notice yet. I think I did but also was thinking it was cos I was looking for it too much. But it did seem better through a twisty dual carriage way we have up here in the lakes.
But heard everyone else say it’s a brilliant upgrade.

Just read your build thread cracking read and a cracking van

[Dav02]

Thanks Andy.

Needs a good clean and polish now, once this weather improves.

Upgraded the front brakes to something that fills the void when looking at the wheels. Brembo 6 pot 18z calipers and 350mm discs.

Looks spot on. Certainly fills the gap, do they feel a lot better?

[Dav02]

Yeah they do actually. After a few miles anyway when you get them to start bed in. Your first few miles they weren't mind.
Just love how they look really.

[snuffegull]

Thats a sweet looking brake and wheel combo!

[Dav02]

Thanks m8

What are the brakes off? Take much to fit them?

[Dav02]

They are straight fit. Brembo 18z calipers. Fitted to Porsche Cayenne's I believe.

I found someone on ebay who refurbs an paints them.. Look brand new tbh.

You then need the braided hoses. ML55 discs that are fitted to Merc's. Spigot ring so the discs fit right on the Caddy hubs. Pads and that's it.

Basically 2 bolts to fit. In same place as standard Caddy ones go.

[daven506]

They definitely look the part. Might be one for the future.

Trip down to Players show last week with Toffee2k. Called in at Caffine and Machine. Great venue, especially with the nice weather.

Lovely Caddy, well done. Also cool pics from Caffeine & Machine. Went last summer too for a morning meet and loved it.
