Lowering car

DSSTRBD · 12-11-2007, 04:34 AM

Anyone lower their newer impala? What springs did you use? How many inches was the drop and was a camber kit installed?

Before I decided to air ride my impala I was looking into buying a set of lowering springs from neuspeed. I believe you can get up to a 2" drop out of them. That just wasn't low enough for me though

As far as the camber kit, I wouldn't think you would need it. The camber in the rear even with the air ride doesn't wear the tires bad at all.

I went with Eibach and it lowered it about 1.4"front 1.6"rear and they didnt make the ride real stiff, look in my garage and you can see a pic of it, and i did not have to install the camer kit

SS model springs will give you the smallest drop possible. Eibach also makes springs, as do a few other companies.

How much drop are you looking for?

I have heard only good things about the eibach and kyb strut/shock combo with w-bodies. I plan on installing the eibach and kyb combo on my impala. From my monte carlo club, I found this was a very popular choice because they are good products.

SSC and Eibach are the 2 most popular, SSC doesnt lower as much as the Eibach, and from what Ive read rides nicer ( when both equip't w/ AGXs) check each nfg's website, they say how much it drops the car

I am getting the KYB AGX struts for my 2005 impala. Do I need to get new strut mounts or will the stock mounts be suffice?

Also, i was at my local AutoZone, and i saw a kit for lowering this generation of impala for like 20$, i didnt get to look at it much because i was in a rush, but it looked pretty legit.

It said it will lower or raise the car up to 4 inches either direction. Im not sure if its reliable or a great deal, so dont hold me accountable lol
