Default LOWERING A CARAVAN

I need ur help bad guys! I have a 99 grand caravan and for some reason cannot find a lowering kit. I work in the car parts buisness so i have a lot of contacts and even with that they all tell me that they dont exist. Its a little hard to beleive and i cant give up on this. The closest thing i found was a kit from eibach for the caravan but i talked to them and they say it wont fit the grand caravan. Can someone tell me if they have experience with this and if baybe at least the front springs fit or what else to do. For the meantime i cut the front coils (2coils) but it barely made a diff and i dont want to mess it up. Need some advise And by the way i have rear leafsprings.Maybe theres another similar car that might work???

Thanks in advance

there is several lowering kits for the 3rd gens, most popular is Eibachs kit, 1.7 front, 1.3 rear, it has new springs for the front, & a shackle system for the rear leaf springs, & i've seen it installed on several long wheelbase (grand) vans, so the whole shorty van only is BS

easy way to find stuff is to look up as "Chrysler Voyager" them europeans got alot of stuff for our vans, Remus & Sebring have exhaust systems, aslong as you match up the right generation, & engine, you'll have no issues finding stuff on euro sites

Yea i saw that they were a lot of caravans on there but not the long one like mine! Then when i went to check it out all the suppliers say that the kit fits 99 caravan but not the grand caravan then i would call them and they would tell me somethings diff but they couldnt tell me what it was. I couldnt take a chance until now. If u tell me theill work then ill take ur word for it.

Thanx again
