Everyone seems to like the SSC's. Eibachs tend to ride a little rough. How low do you want the car to go. You can also use lowering springs from a 97-03 grand prix. If you want something that rides nice and drops the car about an inch then vogtlands are a good choice.

SSC's might be good for what you are looking to achieve.

Are the Eibach's the same for the Impala as the Monte Carlo??

I got the recommended springs from SSC and they destroyed my tires the first time I put passengers in the back...this on a GP but worth stating I think. Good luck, let me know what you find as I am looking for a new option. Or I may just get the fender rolled and keep the springs...it does look good.

the eibachs are discontinued and have been for over a year now. I hate my SSC's the ride sucks and the rear sagged until i put the stock rears back on. The front hight is perfect now. I'm also running Bilstein HD's which may slightly attribute to my rough ride.

You need to roll the fenders.

If you are still looking to lower check out the other w-body forums. There are a few guys on there that have used lowering springs from the previous generation w-body. On the various grand prix forums there are 04+ grand prix's that have used lowering springs from a 97-03 grand prix. Hope that helps.

I keep seeing lowering threads but nobody ever talks aboit adjusting the motor and Trans to compensate or keeping the sway bar at the correct angle

There is a guy on the grand prix forums that sells trans and motor mount spacers, often referred to as Vinnie's spacers. ZZP also sells them. But I would just get them from Vinnie. Also there are a few guys also changing their endlink set up to level out the sway bar.

Are there any that lower the gxp just a half inch or an inch? I don't want to roll the fenders or lose all ground clearance, yet take some of the gap out?

Not trying to steal, just don't want to start another thread about lowering.

SSC's for the 97-03Grand prix should give you that
