Default can you lower with 22s?

if not im thinking about trading my 22s for 20s, a wheel guy says it can be done with 22s. Does the 06 monte have a coilover kit, if so where?

Thanks... I know i know i shouldve got 20s in the first place lol.

you sure can lower on 22's... before i had mine lifted mine were sitting almost flush with the wheel well.. and that was with my stock setup so i know it can be done the right way

this is how it looks with the lift.... i still have stock suspension but with spring lifters installed on all 4 for about 2" clearance so the car doesnt dip down on the tires... i dont have any "before-lift" pics

honestly i wouldnt know what to tell u about lowering ive seen it done before though,,,

I've never seen an MC in person with 22's, but I'd have to say it probably won't be able to be lowered. I've seen a Lumina with 22's, and there's absolutely NO WAY it could be lowered.
