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![Smile](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Thanks again `Frank for your update with pic's and advice not to buy from E-Bay ![EEK!](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)

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
