Default Whats needed to drop 08 impala ss

Just looking to get the Eibach springs and the alignment parts necessary, just for the springs to get that performance ride with the lowered aggressive look. Right now my car has Magnaflows Performance Exhaust, K&N cold air, Mass Air Flow Sensor and performance spark plugs and wires... now i wanna drop her and put some performance tires on the stock SS rims till i get aftermarket Rims and Tires at some point.

Any ideas and or input on what i should do to the car is welcome... money is tight tho just graduated undergrad so im saving for each upgrade...

Here is a few pics of the car so far...

Default SSC over Eibach and HHR

Dom is SSC better than both Eibach and HHR ive seen arguements for all 3 brands, and if i get the lowering kit from Eibach with the tools for alignment that come with it can i apply those to the SSC? or is there a SSC kit for alignment?

Preciate the response as well

What do you mean a kit for alignment? Only thing you will need is a camber bolt in each hole of each strut. At least that is what I did when I put the SSC springs on my GXP.

What I got from the link is the camber bolts I was talking about but they adjust a little more then the ones you can get from autozone or advance.

Alot of people complain of the ride quality in the Eibach springs. There's a couple of guys here that have switched and all the f-body people I know threw them out a window as soon as they could afford something better.
