How much is your car lowered? If its lowered enuf you dont need short dbs. If you do need them, 3.5 itrigues have 1" shorter factory dbs that will work, save ya even more $ .

 

i lowered it almost 1 1/2"...it looks pretty good, (my avatar pic) but i do get a little axle bind, which turns into a shudder while moderate acceleration...i just ordered them from zzp for $25 for the pair...hoping the shudder will be cured as well as when i do my swap, it will allow a little more room the headers

 

My 97 is lowered 5" so no bind for me . Actually shorter dbs will cause more header clearance issues on fifth gen due to a dif firewall.

 

5"? Wow, that is alot...she must be pretty slammed...once i get ready to put the engine/cradle assembly in, then i will know how much of a clearance issue i am really going to have..then mod from there...any pics of your monte?

 

Have a few pics in my album, most of my pics are on w-body.com. i cut two coils front and rear and installed z34 sway bars. Bout to swap to shortened intrigue rear springs and struts andshortened 98 gp gt front springs. I love how it drives . My cv axles point up

 

that's cool...i got my springs from suspension techniques quite a few years ago...i had them in a 97z34 and a 95 lumina ls with the lq1...i just now bought a 98 z34 and swapped out the suspension from my lumina...in all these cars, i always had a slight shudder in the drivetrain when is switched the suspensions...i don't have any pics, other than my avatar pic of my 98 monte..they love to corner

 

X2 on the cornering . You oughtta check into a stb

 

funny that you mention that..i have been looking for front and rear stb the past couple of days...i think even summit racing even had them in stock...i was surprised that zzp didn't have any for the 5th gen monte

 

Do you have access to a welder?

 

no, unfortunately don't have access to a welder....we don't have one at our shop...
