After putting lowering springs on my Monte the front end was bouncy so I invested in two of the top end Bilstein struts and what a difference! Better handling and no more bounce.

I would highly recommend anyone putting aftermarket lowering springs invest in at least a good set of front struts. <o:p></o:p>

 

How much are they?

 

The Bilstein's are expensive and this was the HD Series that is why I got the front only for now. You can get the comfort series cheaper. KYB's are good too and much cheaper. Mine were over $200 each.

Bilstein 35-153153 - Bilstein Heavy-Duty Series Shocks and Struts

 

Damn that is expensive

 

I agree, that is a lot but its a general idea on what the best to get becuzz I sure need some. Do anyonr know if there's a diy installation for struts and shocks?

 

Yeah basically $250 a strut, but Bilsteins are worth the investment. When I lowered mine I went straight to Bilsteins as I wasn't even going to try running the lowering springs on the factory struts. The Bilsteins ride nice with the lowering springs and don't bounce, or pogo, all over the place.

 

Cool, Didn't no Blistein made em for our cars. Expensive as hell though!

I assume the comfort series would be less harsh than the HD's, I think that's probably where I'd go since I don't plan to ever go rallying my little 3.8.

 

Might have to save up for some, the 300 has em from the factory with 20s & it rides amazing & my monte well not so much with kybs lol

 

Yep here's mine in the 06, Bilstein HD's with SSC (CM) lowering springs.

 

Very nice struts
expensive as hell i agree but now i want some
