Thread: lowering my 04 impala ss

No doing spacers afterwards isn't any harder. Nothing changes.

They're not low enough. The vast majority go with GR2's. But if you feel like spending the extra dough, Bilstein's are great.

Im on SSC and Comp-g sturts for years and i loved the drop and handling... but my struts are going out now after about 5 years so not too bad imo.

They are fine. I've driven on worse and better.

.....and what struts should I go with ?

I went with Monroe Sens-a-tracs for a stock like ride.

I'm pleased with my SSC/Bilstein HD combo.

hmm looks like I will be doing some more research for lowering springs and struts. thanks guys.

If your going to be lowering it.. Kyb gr2s. Monroe quick struts tend to ride softener and blow out easier when lowered. Or if you can spare a bit more change comp g struts are awesome especially when lowered.

where can I pick up the comp g struts ? are these just struts for the 04 gp comp g ? if soo I could prob just get them on rockauto. but what lowering springs ?

tldr. In my opinion buy c/o's or get gr-2's and ssc's.

BTW i blew out ssc's on monroes in 2 months.

how would this combo work ?http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...ing-Combo.aspx

Fine if you want to pay for the assembly. My suggestion is to save a little more and buy the c/o's they ride bettr and you will want to go lower after 2 months or so.

what are c/o's ?

CO = coilovers

gotchya. soo just coilovers would cover it all ? no strut and springs ? and where could I get these ?

why am I asking you where can I get it, i'll stop being lazy and just google it, thanks for the help.

this better ? http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...for-Wbody.aspx

Buy them from zzp or whoever makes them for them. I forget. I would 100% go zzp style c/o's. Just get a slightly stronger spring rate.

Yup coilovers will cover both handling and lowering. It's really up to you on what your wanting to spend and what your wanting from the setup. Some are happy and just opt to go the strut/spring method. Some aren't happy with that and want that slammed looked so they tend to go with c/o.
