My Monte... Lowered
well i finally got my springs on earlier today. but first of all i'd like to say... DO NOT BUY EBAY SPRINGS....
The rears didnt lower it any, either that or my stockers were really saggy :p
anyway i decided trim them some lol didnt lower the car as much as i would've liked but it'll do for now. thats all i have to say about those haha
now the fronts worked great! gave me a pretty good drop i would say
i wanted to paint my struts silver like some of you may have seen a few weeks ago. then i bought two new front ones and were black aready so i just decided to go with black on my already silver painted rears lol a quick spray of bed liner and they turned out pretty good i guess lol
overall im really happy with the nice stance i got, it looks much better in person i really like it
It rides pretty damn good, i was actually surprised and no more engine vibration either!
my 20's are going back on tomorrow when i get everything all cleaned up and i'll get more pictures then
here's only a few i took today....
rears...
fronts...
the fronts look tiny compared to the stock ones lol
there's more pics to come tomorrow.....

Thanks again `Frank for your update with pic's and advice not to buy from E-Bay
I'm sure with time your springs will settle from the weight & be lower ...Now you will have to watch out for high curbs/inclines, etc, but I do like the look...Springs settle about a half inch over the first few months.
Good Luck 4-Sure...

If your new coil springs making your car sit high should you cut a coil

Looks good, Frank! Be sure to let us know how it rides/handles after you get the 20s on it.

This is how high it was from the front when I put those new oem struts/springs on lol
The lowering springs brought it down about 2 inches from that lol
