4wd caddy
Hi. Who is SA thought of building a 4wd caddy ldv? It been in my mind for a while now but unsure how to do a independent rear. I thought of using a audi A8 4.2 quattro suspension, engine and gearbox. Please i would like some tips and thoughts on this.

Re: 4wd caddy
I also have this idea in my head, so if anyone has done or is going to do it, I would love to see it.
For me it sounds just to expansive to take on now.

Where
Will you sell parts?
Rear you can change to a static setup using C6 A6 front struts
Then fabricate mounts for the rear subframe and you’re good to go

I have an 2004 A8 hence me asking as I’m looking for a few parts
I know the A8 pretty well
If you have the air suspension you can convert to static easily especially since you will be fabricating new mounts etc

Re: 4wd caddy
Never mind I found the car you bought
Older D2 A8
Has static suspension already
Will easy enough to utilize the oem subframe and fabricate mounting points for the rear struts

It’s about the same amount of work regardless as you still custom fabricating everythingFish VR6 wrote:I hope so yes. But was thinking of installing air suspension. But if its going to be to much of a hassle i will rather not.
