  • You've seen this car before if you pay attention to our channel and you know we are all a huge fan of it, what's not to love of a light blue classic big block Chevy Impala? And with a manual transmission behind it? Even better! However the last time we worked on the car we swapped out the CPP lowering springs which took it too low, for a set of Moog big block springs that took it just a touch TOO high.
    With the game plan of cutting a coil or so out of the front to drop it back down to more modern muscle car stance, and while we're in there address some cracked and dry rotted old suspension bushings. It's a lot of work but fortunately this car has been pretty well cared for so it SHOULD go smoothly. Right?
    Let's get to work!

    I personally always set it up modified spec for what I want to achieve everyone has their way. Just helps me with control arm adjustment, stack and drag, and make it green for the customer so they don’t freak out! 😂 Great job! If anyone has been doing alignments for any length of time we all have forgot to tighten something up once at ride height I know I have!

    Rich always goes above and beyond when he gets ahold of your car which is the reason they get swamped with work I know that I would bring mine to them for work

    Great video to watch true professionals at work to make things right. I have a 68 Camaro and the new coil springs I have in it is making the ride too high. I have no idea on how much to take off the coil to lower it to a better ride height. It either that or go with adjustable coil over shocks.

    1972 family took a trip to NM from Texas. 1965 Impala 283 had the cam go flat coming thru the hills by Albuquerque. Chevy Dealership Repaired the motor. No Charge cause it had less then 50k miles on the car.
    Today Chevrolet Dealers wont repair any car under a 2012. My how times have changed.

    I know I haven't found a Uniform way to remove Lower control arm bushings, later models Upper too... That has always been a F.A.F.O. kinda thing... Never the same way twice...
