I think this should help you out...

This is what Matt (06mistreSS) did and used to lower his Monte.

Yes thanks Dave. I went with Canuck Motorsports lowering springs on my 06; about a 1.8" overall drop. I installed those on Bilstein HD-Series struts and it's a very nice setup.

Eibach kit is nice I have the old ones, they have since been redesigned for a bit more drop in the front; Monte Carlo (2000-current) Lowering Specs: lowers front approximately 1.3”, lowers rear approximately 1.0”; it will probably settle to 1.5 and 1.2.


Not sure what my old one were, I'll have to check my groupo at home...

Trying to confirm with someone right now if they have old stock (Eibach) has discontinued them. I'll get back to you; they might be all gone.

The Eibach's have been discontinued for a while now. I figured that out when I was searching for parts for my 06. I went with the Eibach's on my 03 but that was back in 2007.

From seeing other members' problems with the ebay springs, I would say stay away from those. Main thing being that they don't seem to correctly drop the amount they advertise.
