Default Dropped The Front? Raised The Back??

Has anyone dropped the front of their monte like an inch to give it that "ready to pounce" look? or just raised the back a little? or has anyone lowered it or anything along those lines?

dropping the front or raising the rear would make it look like a RWD imo which is like putting turbo stickers on a N/A car, that's what i think at least

you could raise the front and drop the back and run it in reverse

My monte for some reason already has that stance so when I get my lowering springs I'm getting ones that will keep it that way. I think it looks very natural with the body lines of the monte if the back is slightly higher then the front like mine

Unfortunately I have that stance on my 06 and I don't quite like that. I'm finally about to remove my SSC springs this weekend. It It just doesn't flow well for me. The rear struts are to blame for this though. If anyone is interested in buying mine PM me. I have camber bolts and shorter dogbones to go with them.

Mine doesn't appear to be quite as high in the back, but is also slightly higher in the rear versus the front. I think the way the HS package slopes upward in the back may add a little optical effect, but when measuring from the ground to the top of the wheels well mine is about 1" higher in the back. I also like the appearance and think it accents the body lines.

The back of mine is jacked up like crazy. I think the last owner had some subs or 22s because it has a spacer in the back springs. You could do that, or the cable mod

Ur Monte has a good stance leave it be ! I had a 92 RS back in 94 with 15x7's in the front 15x8.5 in the rear with taller wider tires will never do that again !
