Thread: 2002 Impala: On it's way

Well I took all the audio gear out of the trunk. I'm putting a smaller sub back in eventually just for some low end fill.
I measured fender heights before and after.
With sound system:
FR: 27.25"
FL: 27.5"
RR: 26"
RL: 26"

Without sound system:
FR: 27.25"
FL: 27.5"
RR: 26 5/8"
RL: 26.75"

It looks better now but I still want the front end an inch lower. Here's a picture now

just weld on some free weights to your subframe. should pull it down :P

all joking aside stance looks good.

Get some LS side skirts in the matching silver, k thx

and for the love of god..get rid of the SS stickers. it's a base.

now I'm missing mine.....****.

an SLP grille would bring the front of that car together too

Well with the aluminum subframe and lighter motor than a 3.8, it probably does set a little higher without the weight. The drivers side it probably higher because the battery is on the passenger side. You know gm

I've been looking at the junkyard for them. Hardly any w-bodies come thru there.

Yeah, I've decided on what theme I want to do. Gonna go for what the slp, IMO, should have been.

I have an slp grille, I just havent gotten around to painting the surround yet. What springs were you lowered on? That imp looks great.

I had the SSCs on KYB GR2s. I wonder how much shipping would be, there's always impalas here in junkyards.

Says the guy who didn't have one on his LOL. I'd imagine it would be expensive for that big of a part. Your car seems lower than mine. Although my tires are half an inch shorter than stock

I took them off when I repainted my fenders due to rock chips and rust.. dealer gave me wrong paint. Said bright white, came out cappuccino frost. Never put them back on because no ****s were given after that

I was jk but that sucks. Isn't it a pain to take them off?

Hey i think a bunch of people have told him that already, give some time man hes only human.

buy othernicks intrax springs, youll be lower...

I don't see intrax springs for sale? And wouldn't they kinda ruin my agx's very quickly?
Im curious about other options. Like making plates that bolt onto the lower strut mount and lowering it half an inch or so. Or doing something with the upper strut mount to raise it

I want to do my own version of what I believe the slp edition should have been. Lots of ideas floating around, and until I find some stuff I've been looking for, it will probably be just visual and suspension mods.
What do you guys think? Got ideas of what you think could of/should of been done on an LSX impala?

Should have been T/C and made in RWD.

Never really was much of a fan of these cars, but I do have to admit that yours is definatley a head turner and a very nicely done impala.

Thanks! I try

Any more ideas? I have a direction for the drivetrain but still searching for it and gonna take awhile to build so I'm just looking to do suspension, exterior, and interior mods at the moment. I have a gmpp rear sway and moog rear sway bar end links on the way. Now I'm looking at front sways. Looks like dorman 33mm is almost the biggest and a good price/deal?
