I believe the dale Sr and dale jr has some type of performance suspension. You can go to a chevy service department and ask them for a print out of your vehicle build all you need is your VIN

The 04-05 supercharged Monte Carlos should have the FE4 suspension. Make sure the strut is compatible with that.

The Dale Jr edition has the same suspension all the other supercharged 04-05 Monte's got. The Dale Jr package was an appearance package only. No performance upgrades.

Unless you count the extra 50 hp we get from the stripes on the sides.

I would get the struts that go for the FE4 suspension.

KYB 339015 for front struts and KYB 339148 for the rear would work, then get springs that you like.
