No, he had Eibachs.

I actually looked at Vogtlands the other day. In Vogtland's online catalog, it shows Chevrolet W-Body Monte Carlo SS, Impala SS, year "04 -". Do you know if that mean years 04 and after, or just 04? They're closed for a week right now so I can't ask them directly for a while.

I've got a couple inquiries out right now for having a set of lowering springs custom made. I only want to go 1.3" in front and 1.0" in back. SSC's and CM's lower too much.

I never thought I'd see the day someone says Eibachs ride better than other lowering springs. Those eBay springs must be complete junk...

You must have some deep pockets if you want to go with custom lowering springs. Vogtlands will get you close to that. Mine was a pretty much even drop all around, but the rear looked a touch lower due to the contour of the rear fender.

Well I wanted to see roughly what I'd be looking to pay for custom springs, just for the hell of it. Doesn't hurts to look into it. Vogtland looks like my best bet for springs. You have Vogtlands on yours then? How do you like them?

I had Vogtlands on my Monte Carlo paired with AGX struts. It was a great choice IMO. With the struts set to 2, it felt like a stock ride for long drives and bumped up to 4 all around it rode like it was on rails. I'd recommend it to anyone.

IMO, I actually preferr the stance with back a touch higher than the front.

I think it looks perfect that way! For all intent and purposes, A Nice street machine with a HotRod look!

Love the somewhat slammed look on 20's and Eibachs. Looking forward to lowering mine hopefully next month.
