No but I can get some reasonably quickly.
Infact theres a lot of caddy stuff I could do, I just cut back on it a while back so i could concentrate on getting a bigger T3 range.
I have coil overs set up at AVO with the right length rear dampers and a few other things.
Funny bunch them Caddy owners though....

The formost ones aren't available, the 4 rearmost ones, the ones in the shackles are, they are on order from Lemforder (original equpiment) and should be here beginning of next week hopefully.
No idea of price yet until they lang but it won't be daft.

In the mean time...
 
Granted, not as cheap as some of the others out there, but they are Lemforder (Part of ZF) and ZF own Boge who made the originals, so, to all intents and purposes they are VW ones.
 
I'm working on the front spring eye bush ATM.

 Never did understand why members of the caddy 'scene' never really want to use them as pick ups!, used to 'enjoy' mine, if only the cab was a bit deeper front to back, wonder if the designers ever thought old dub comercials would be so popular, funny old world Confused

Okay, now I've looked at ETKA properly...
 
up to 86, there are smaller bushes for the front of the spring, they don't seem to be available anywhere.
from '86 onwards then you need 6 of the same bush, and they fit in all locations.

Have you ever been on the caddy forum?
It's all a bit cloak and dagger, or it was, I've not been back for ages as I found it a little strange, almost unfriendly.
Coming from the T3 community, then dipping my toes in when I had a Caddy to the Caddy community, well, I suppose theres more of the, I dunno, trying not to be rude or offensive but there a lot of Max Power tuning style things going on, not very laid back, I just found it a little alien from what I'm used to here and on 80-90 and the like.
Shouty Stella drinkers, people doing burn outs and such.
