Suspension/Handling Upgrade for '08 Impala LTZ?
Have been searching forum threads, etc. looking for recommendations & insights about improving the handling of my '08 Impala LTZ without breaking the bank. I suppose this discussion could also include tires, brakes, etc. in addition to the usual suspension components. Since the '08 LTZ had the same suspension as the SS, etc., I thought someone either with the 3.9L V6 or LS4 may have gone down this road already (already spec'd the components & upgrades).
Would appreciate any input or direction to sites/threads that might address my needs. I like the car, but as any owner will attest, even with the "performance" handling package and tires that came with the LTZ (or SS for that matter) in '08, it still wallows and sways more than I'd like. While I'm sure I can't get to Euro-sedan handling, maybe there's some decent improvement that someone's experienced.
Thanks in advance for the recommendations and insight.
See ya.

i would start with some SSC lowering springs, then look at new shocks/struts from Bilstien, then go here for the group buy Don Rome STB's then some thicker sway bars.
