Very nice man! Looks like one of those is a set of rear laterals? I put a set of UMI rear laterals on my Monte a couple years. It was tough to do without air tools.

Its all Poly mounts. Upgraded fly wheel. ZZP control arms and trailing arms and upgraded pass axel for the new trans going in. Cant wait to get it. This build is taking a long time and a lot of money but it will be very much worth it

I assume your Monte is a daily driver? If so, I'm curious how those control arms work out for long term usage. Because of their normal price, I think the only W-Body guys I have heard of using them are those really big into drag racing their cars and nothing else (including no daily use).

So I'm interested to hear some feed back on those for everyday use.

Yes this is my daily driver and I'll let you know how they work out as a daily driver. But seeing as how they are stronger and better than the stock ones I think that they will be just fine. And yea I cant wait for this phase to be done either. The stupid trans that is in now can only put out 263hp when I know I'm making more than that and even my shop said I'm making much more than that but it cant tranfer through plus its slipping. so it will be very nice when this is done.
