Default Lowering my Monte soon. need help

Im wanting to lower my Monte soon. Its A 2000 SS. I cant do coilovers right now ( too pricey ). But I need advice on what the best lowering springs might be and any other things I might need. Thanks.

i have kyb agxs all around with ssc lowering springs i like the drop and the car handles amazing...agxs are really stiff so you really dont need to get anti pogo washers however if you get the kyb gr2s its a good idea to get them

I have KYB AGX's as well, but mine are paired up with eibach springs. I have a smooth ride, and when I need or want, the car corners like a beast!

look under "suspension" and then there was a recent topic about lowering named "lowering". I posted everything you will need to do a lowering job!

I didnt notice any difference with my car, but i figured I would get them just to be safe. In my opinion, thats completely up to you

I was told the shorter dogbones were a must.... I wasnt taking a risk of the car shaking at 50-60 mph range!
