Want to lower my 06 to sit a little nicer on the 20's i will soon be getting. Any suggestions?

 

SSC lowering springs, love mine, better ride than Eibach.

 

What kind of drop did the SSC's give you?

 

Nacho,
Where did you get them and how much.

 

ZZP has the SSC springs for $189 on thier website. That was for 00+ Imps.

That is their website. I called to order them, they were very easy and pleasant to deal with and the springs got here quickly. SSC is well known in the w-body world for quality springs, and are preferred over Intrax or Eibach.

Once the springs settled I have about 1.7-1.8 inches of drop in the front and 1.6-1.7 in the back.

 

SSC's for the Impala are almost $350, last I checked. No fun (at that price), or I'd have them installed already.

 

Yea that's a little pricey...

 

Well they bumped up the price after I bought mine...but honestly guys you are paying for some great quality. You can ask Cub, they look great and ride similar to stock and the feel of the car is much better. There is no question in my opinion as to other springs.

 

They cost more for the impala for sure!

I paid about $230 shipped for mine.

I might as well post a pic of it lowered (front only).

Sweet, looking good. Any rub?

 

Here's a good profile shot to show you how mine sits with some KYB struts too:

 

I have ZERO rubbing issues. Proper width and offset make things a whole lot easier.

 

Mike, are those white rims 20s? Sits nice

 

Thanks...They're actually 22's with a 245/30/22 tire.

 

That brings another question then , lol. What kind of work did you have to do for the 22's to fit? I got an 06 Imp SS but i imagine it will be about the same as far as wheel well clearance goes.

 

You don't need to do anything to get 22's to fit...just buy the right offset and tire width as mike suggested.

I went with 255's on my +40 or +42 offset 20's, and they rub on the lip of the rear quarterpanel(s). Had I gotten 245's, they'd be fine. I just need to roll the lip up and in, and I'll be set.

 

Yea, jsut for reference I have 20's with 245/45 and no rub at all. I would have gone with 255's but my rims aren't wide enough.

 

Mike I always forget, whats the proper monte offset again?

 

Nacho - My 20's are a +42 offset and I have no clearance issues at all.
