woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 welcome to the site any plans for it or just on here for advice etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pea Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 im planning a little drop and a set of pepper pots, and then just sticker bomb the fuel cap and rear windows. maybe more depends how it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 sticker bomb the fuel cap and rear windows. don't bother, looks crap/chavvy/tacky personally i would fit zetec s front bumper and skirts and then get rear zetec s bumpercut and moulded onto standard bumper so it would fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pea Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 sounds like a good idea im mostly worried about the drop at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 sounds like a good idea just happens that i've got a few zetec s kits to sell ;) get me a pic of the suspension and i'll try and find out what can be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 hmmm, is there no spring under there at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pea Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 not from what i can see but i havent had the time to take the wheel off yet and have a proper look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 tbh sounds like the rear axle is like whats on the early vw caddy vans, i'll find you a link for a how to guide to lower the rear of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pea Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 that'll be greatly appreciated thank you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 these might come in handy http://www.justcaddys.com/rear_axle_drop_plates.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 http://www.vwcaddy.com/showthread.php?t=1047 there are other guides with pics on that site but you need to sign up to view them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pea Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 i think the plates are the best idea not too keen on flipping the axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 shorter shocks are advisable with either method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pea Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 so id have to buy new shocks? would i get them specifically for my mk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 so id have to buy new shocks? would i get them specifically for my mk yes you'd need new shorter shocks, i doubt you'd get them specific for the vehicle, when people lower the caddys they use beetle shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pea Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 but what ford would have shorter shocks? the ka possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 the rear shocks on ka's are macpherson struts (spring over the shock), can't use them tbh best emailing a few places like gmax and spax and ask them if they do any shorter shocks for the courier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pea Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 ill do that :) thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
