Who did the install of the springs? If you did it, what kind of spring compressor do you use? I want to do this to mine, but drop a little bit more, eventually I want to go real low for the ground effect package I'll have , not a low rider, but about 2 1/2 lower then stock, but have air bags to raise it for getting into the driveway etc.. I'm sure I'll have to wait cuz that's gonna cost a couple bucks.. Lol.. Mjclemm..

Where did you get them? Are they somewhat safe if you take your time, I don't want to eat a spring ! Lol... I just hate how high the monte stands, I want it to go about 2-3 full inches lower, not low rider, but nice and low like a road race car where ground effects look like they are there for a reason, all the body kits look bad when that high off the ground, lowering it will make the car look as if the ground kit belongs to the car, and not just bolted on, know what I mean? Looking good, now I gotta get mine lowered, I was even thinking of cutting a entire coil out of the spring to lower the spring rate (I'd have new lowering springs stand by I case I messed up the originals by cutting them. )
