Default ssc springs question

I was just lookin around the ssc website and i saw a list of car suspension applications and all i saw was for Impala 00-04 and Impala SS 90-96. But i was reading the posts from you guys and they say they have worked. Help??

k i sent them an email, but i called them as well. I talked to one the ppl there and she said that they only went up to 96 for the Impalas. I know that SSCs worked for you but that was for a Monte correct?

Yessir. I have a MCSS. Should be pretty similiar to the impala springs, but the imp ones support some extra weight in the impala because it is heavier. Double check that the impala ones are different, and if not, then order the monte ones.

Nacho,

Could you tell me what your drop was? 2 inches? Would you happen to know if SSC sells springs with a drop height not quite as drastic as yours are? I think your car looks great, but that drop may be just a little too low for my purposes.

MonteSS8707,

Are you offering install and alignment services for these springs? I might take you up on it, if you are - I live in central IL.

Thanks both of you!

It ends up being around 1.6 in drop....I have subs in the back so the rear hangs a bit lower, but overall I really like these springs. Height wise the only problem I have is going down steep, steep driveways, which I just usually avoid. Other than that I don't scrape much at all. SSC only has one current gen w-body spring. Trust me, go with SSC and you won't be let down. Eibach has a poor reputation for bad ride quality and uneven drops.

Yes I can install the springs and align your car at the shop I work at. I can also install aftermarket performance parts and tune your car with HP Tuners. I've tuned Oshia86's GXP from this forum. Let me know.

Don't let the physical lowering bother you Blue, SSC has great quality and these springs have been nothing short of perfect for my MC. I get complements on a daily basis and the ride is extremely close to stock, still cushy.

Yes, the ride is just as smooth as stock, no bouncy here.
