    Take a look at this:

    Impala SS Bilstein BMR ZZ GXP Suspension Upgrades Done! - LS1TECH

    Only things I would consider "bad" (not really but I figure there are better parts)
    -ZZP LCA's (as he demonstrated in the thread quality control maybe an issue (different Balljoints and the front mount adjustment), its nice to have adjustable Front LCA's so that is a huge advantage); Our front mounts are rubber and there is no replacement, a solid mount is really what we should have here, only 2 LCA's come that way: Ron Vogel LCA's (which there about 10 sets in existence) and ZZP LCA's.

    -Front brakes I would have gone CTS-V but that is just me

    -Front sway bar could have been upgraded to a thicker Sway; GMPP or what have you, but GXPs may have a nice front sway already.

    -An extra (and expensive step) would be to valve the Struts perfectly to the Progressive rate of the Eibachs. Eibachs are known to be stiff, but I imagine those Bilsteins adapt to the Springs just fine, so my point may be null here. Coilovers are the other option here; but those aren't perfect either.

    This is a good build up kiddies.

    Granted I understand we can't all afford to do this all at once, you can do this piece by piece.

    Lets consider this thread the best of the best setup money can buy for the W-body.
