Default have a question looking into

i am looking into some new struts for my monte. it feels like it is not really as smooth riding like it was so i am looking into for some new struts and may be some new srpings. i just want to double check on this is the 7th gen considered a w-body do to it still looks like the 6th gen behind the front fenders also some intereor things. or do i go and look for some thing ok and not up to what i like to get like the kyb's. some thing like that i have seen some monroe the really cheap ones what i mean 20 dallars for one cheap which i dont want. that i would like is a good strut set up i know i have a f2 setup it is that wiered type not the better type ef4 some thing like that suspention set up. i ordered the strut braces and the brackets for it to help with body roll also to help the sway bars to help them out to make it sound. but when i have two people in my monte the car bottoms out when hitting a small bump. sorry for the long read also do they make a tubular lower controll arms for the 7th gen like the 6th gen? is it on the w-body store? sorry for the long read

Yes, your Monte is considered a W-Body. I just looked up replacement struts and springs for both my '03 and an '07. It shows the same part number for both vehicles so I assume the parts are the same. The listings showed the parts being the same from '00 through '07.

No problem...let us know which you decide upon and how you like them once you put a few miles on them.
