Default Caddy 3: Lowering the rear end?

Hey all.

I have a friend that have a brand new Caddy for his business, but he desperately wants to lower this new van of his. The front end is no problem, of course, he already has H&R springs for the Touran on the way, but the rear end has leaf springs just like the previous Caddy.

The only place I know of (in Germany) that has lowering kits for the older Caddy is bullock-style.de, but they have nothing for the new Caddy. Does anyone of you know anything about this? Any tips are good tips!

Maybe he can mount the rear axle on top of the leaf spring,instead of under the leaf springs
I think you get 2" lowering by doing that
