He's on 22's, but with the right tire size, more times than not the height does not change with wheel size.
Regarding the spring compressor, didn't you have access to an autozone? You can borrow theirs. That's my plan.

I don't have an autozone nearby, but I have a PoopBoys and they wanted $75/hour to use their wall mount spring compressor/lift bay (that's doing my own work too!). I figured I would be there for about 2-3 hours so I had a buddy do it for me who knows Chevy's well (my go-to guy if I can't do something on my own) and I just paid him. Rather pay him then the queers @ PB.

Got an alingment yet? If so did you have any problems getting camber set? I'm thinking of setting my camber to straight up in the back when I get my wheels mounted like whats-his-name did with his black lowered GXP on black rims, because I hate the way the rears tilt outward (negative camber).
I got a reply to my part inquiry from SSC and to my surprise...they're MUCH more expensive than what you guys found. However, they have a 2"/3" drop kit for the Impala:
Did you guys use a coupon code or something? I sent a reply eMail asking what's up with those prices. I know someone posted that they recently went up ($30 or so?) but to see $130 more than what you guys paid is definitely a deterrant to me getting these.
We have two types, and below are the prices.
part no. Drop (Font/Rear) Price
21-2711 2" / 3" $271.66 plus $50 shipping and handling
21-2712 1.5" / 1.5" $281.55 plus $50 shipping and handling.
Please call us at 604-591-9898 to place your order. We do accept credit card orders.
Thank you.

Damn thats a little expensive Buff, why not get the Eibachs? I think I paid like $250 or something. Are you really thinking of getting 2"/3" drop springs? 1" difference between the front and rear is too much of a difference IMO and will probably not look right. Not to mention you will probably need to do some cutting inside the wheelwells with a drop that low, and say good bye to your front spoiler. That is also going to drastically limit suspension travel which means it will probably ride like ****. Camber adjustment is also going to be an issue. Dropping the car that much just has bad new written all over it, but if thats what you want more power to ya!
