Why would you want to lower a Monte? My Monte is already so low I sometimes scrape it on curbs and speed bumps. But if you want to go that way for looks, you should go with air suspension.

so do you currently have an 84? what are you looking to do with the car aside from lowering it?

unfortunately no, im monte carlo free at present. however, theres nothing i dont love about the gbody. the last one i had (the 84ss) was supposed to be a tlc fix me up, but when i pulled the carpet out, the floorboards came up with them. i had it for awhile, bought a bunch of parts etc, it was my second monte, then the wife got pregnant and i decided it wouldnt be a wise investment anymore.
i vowed that my next one would be worth buying to begin with.
