When it comes to upgrading, this is probably the most important and influential video needed if you own a a 90s impala or caprice. This is Free Game...

[@peterjennings6233]

As I watched your video and you showed us that bolt for the rear shocks, I hit pause and ordered. Thanx

[@sedrickbyrd5732]

Thanks for the information...Great job!!! Got my rear coiler and my U-bolts...I'm good to go now.

[@grindschool]

Man that bracket would have been so helpful when I did my rear QA1's. You're right the bolt at the top of the shock is a nightmare and cost me a day of work just trying to figure out how to get them all squared away.

[@otgmechanic]

Game changer! Ill record tomorrow the part you need help with.

[@thomasliljenstam9048]

Can you still do this, parts list seem to have past "best before date", thanks for the video though.

[@otgmechanic]

Getting ready to do the exact same job this week

[@T.-14]

Man keep doing your thing, your videos are 20 mins to a hour you keep making them it’s your channel. You do great work on these impalas and keep all of us motivated to ours. Great job keep up the great work.

[@keymakxr]

You have a different part number for the Wilwood calipers for D154. Will that link for those D-154 work as well as the ones in this video ❓

[@ArtieGardnerjr-yk3ii]

How much for a full suspension n brake job qa1 n Wildwood brakes on a 96 ss Impala

[@jacobfriedland2873]

the rear caliper link you posted are for D154 was that a mistake? i ordered rear d52 dual piston and front dual piston d52 hoping that is correct.

[@VincentHaynes-y9m]

Less talk and more on hands work, want to see how you do it ... Thank U........

[@ltcsimpson2272]

Thx for the vids… will a QA1 rear sway bar bolt up to a tubular lower control arm from UMI performance?

[@otgmechanic]

Thats a great question. I believe so. It should come with adapters IIRC.

[@paultorres9295]

Thanks for video I learn more about impalas 96 on suspension

[@franciscomaldonado3327]

Hmmm Wats this video supposed to be about ?

[@HenryCooks-j2x]

Where you located

[@TheRealReasons]

So do you still drill the hole up top that qa1 says to drill with the u brackets?

[@otgmechanic]

I normally dont.

[@j.markdebuque-eubankssr.4343]

where do you buy those u-bolts for the upper shock/coilover mount?

[@djjc4007]

The main difference between the QA1 Handing Kit & Big Wheel Kit is the lower trailing arms are non adjustable in the "Handling Kit". Would the Handling kit fit 26" rims or better to go with the "Big Wheel Kit" and adjustable lower trailing arms? Thanks for the great videos!

[@920_newjuan3]

Do you have an email or some contact info? I have some questions if you could help me out with my build I’d really appreciate it

[@Macaframa253]

Just subscribe thanks for the knowledge much appreciated ✊🏽💪🏽🙏🏽

[@dannyhollins9569]

Can I just change the lower control arms to the rear or I also need to change the upper for the rear?

[@otgmechanic]

Need to change both if they are extended. Pinion angle will be off if you dont

[@beenfressh2550]

I needed this video about 2 years ago. This was nightmare for me. But i got it done. Can I contact you on social media ?

[@joeymissouri2690]

What are things I can do to get a smoother ride out of my 96 impala on 24s without going overboard

[@ZX7mcm]

Funny that nobody I’ve found has filmed the actual removal of the rear shock. It’s always “well it’s out now”…. Getting ready to do that on mine tomorrow. Need help!

[@otgmechanic]

Yea its hard to hold the camera and do it. Ill try to make a video showing the process.

[@ZX7mcm]

I got it. It definitely needs two people and not that hard. We didn’t have a lift either. Definitely could not film it….

[@osbaldochavez]

Great tip on ubolt Kit. I just bought a set to get ready for the QA1 level 1 kit. Thank you for providing the link.

[@dresanti5274]

Are those part numbers correct because the link brings me to double adjustable with a 300lbs spring rate

[@GearJammerGarage]

[@MalachiHamlet]

[@4sondaprice]

Do I have to get uppers too or can I just install extended lower trailing arms to center my rear wheel?

[@otgmechanic]

Suggest you get uppers for pinion angle

[@whumph]

Droppin knowledge! ✊🏿appreciate it

[@markiethwebb43]

I appreciate you for da tutorial

[@jadaf4i]

Big brother Ray another good video

[@casheighty8]

Ford 9” changed my life on my box. I believe it should be the first thing people should upgrade on the rear of any 77-96’

[@djjc4007]

What’s the reason behind the Ford 9” upgrade?

[@Capriceclassicbigbubble1992]

Will this setup fit on my 1992 Caprice classic

[@otgmechanic]

Yes

[@colinwahl2509]

I wish I knew about those ubolts before I did the rear shocks on my Fleetwood brougham

[@otgmechanic]

Game changer!

[@dsacksphat]

Someone tell me which to get for 26s..

Does the 94-96 Impala SS wheels fit those Wilwood Calipers?

[@otgmechanic]

Yes will clear stock wheels

[@OBSeSSedTeeV84]

Thanks, for the quick response.

[@everardovillarreal4019]

Does it matter if it’s 1 piston or 2 piston? They are both the d154 caliper series

[@otgmechanic]

Ive always did the single piston
