    Hey guys,
    I'd love to drop my '05 and every pic I've seen of an even drop (say, 1.7/1.7) leaves the rear end looking relatively lower. I'd go for that 1.7" up front but have been looking all over for a rear spring that will give maybe 1" to 1 1/4" out back without success.
    From the most recent info that I can find:
    SSC - 1.7"
    CM - 1.7" official site/1.5" on ilovebodykits
    ZZP - 1.7"
    Eibach, B&G, Vogtland - discontinued

    Any other names I don't know about yet? And am I right in calculating that a '97-'03 3/4" rear drop would also get me there?...or would anyone even bother to give that option. Running 19x8.5s with a 38 offset on a DD & I really don't feel like going to coilovers for such a minor stance!

    As far as I know, at least for impalas anyway, ssc's and canuck is 1.7 front, 1.5 rear. I got about that. I think there are zzp springs that dont lower as much. Maybe could try those in the rear. And I also did not know eibach, b & g, and vogtland were discontinued. Are you sure?

    Yeah, far as I can tell from their own websites & a few others. At least not for an 04-08 GP.
    I wonder if my only real option is to add spacers of about 1/8" on either side of a 1.5" coil. But even that's a bit dopey if I want to stay real close to the oe rate - not swapping for any performance gains, quite the opposite - low & slow she go..

    I'll buy the winner a beer!
