So I came around to this Ebay listing, and apparently this works for Impala's

http://www.ebay.com/itm/KYB-STRUTS-SPRINGS-CHEVY-MONTE-CARLO-IMPALA-SS-00-to-10-/121100961282?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AImpala&hash=item1c322e0602&vxp=mtr

I don't think you'll be happy with those springs, KYB is a good brand but the AGX model is more geared toward performance, the GR2 is a stock replacement.

If you have a monte SS or impala SS you want the front kyb's with the 339015 part number and the 339148 part number for the rear. The one's in that ad have the right rear part number but the fronts are for those with the V6.

Vogltand springs are some of the best springs for a w-body. They may not offer the most drop (around 1") but they make up for it in comfprt. Paired with KYB's they are ok since the drop is not that aggressive.

My brother runs the SS struts on his 03 grand prix with these springs. He has gotten about 30-40K miles on them and now the front strust are showing signs of wear. The rears are still ok.

They will fit your car. You guys don't have the sway bar mounts non the struts like we do.
