Eibach doesn't manufacture a lowering spring for the 6th Gens anymore. Frank is lucky to have those. I loved the Eibach's on my 03.

I'm thinking about going with Vogtland's or SSC's on my 06. Last I checked Vogtland online, they weren't in stock. Custom springs look like more of a hassle and/or cost. The first company I got a response back from doesn't sound like they have the information for the car to make the springs because they said I'd need to send them a sample spring. They were less expensive though, ~$400, but with a lead time of 20 days the Monte would be out of commission for a while. The other company would be around $850 after all is said and done.

Depended on what I had my AGXs set to. At 2 all around it was pretty much equal to stock, bump up the firmness and it was stiffer, but not to the point that is was uncomfortable to drive.
