Well, to be honest with you, thought suspension is definitely not my expertise.. I believe you CAN get away with only doing the two rear, HOWEVER, honestly, if you are already going to do the back, and u can spare another 250 bucks for the front, I would do it. But if you are tight on money, the rear two should be fine..

The only thing that I have heard is that you always want to replace them in pairs...

Other than that, you ought to be alright.

If I am wrong, PLEASE someone step in and correct me...

Hope that helps

Correct. You always want to do the front or the back or all 4.

Doing all 4 will make the car look correct.

Yup upgrade the suspension, then you couldstill roll the fenders if you still have rubbing, there no down sides. I have them done w/ noproblemand you can't tell.

I run 245/35/20 +33 or +35offset (can't remeber)w/ 8.5' but I also run the Koni adjustables (discontinued GMPD kit) w/ GM drop springs (may switch to my old Eibach) complimented by a full BMRsuspensionkit.
I have like 10 bars on my car. Front & Rear sways & Strut tower braces, Trailing arms, Lat arms forward and Rears.

Hi. I have a 2001 Monte Carlo that I reccently put 18 inch rims on. Tires size 235 - 50. When People sit in the back seat some times I have a problem with it hitting. I was wondering if any one had any suggestions to correct this problem?
what's the offset on the rims? I can vouch for the KYB AGX being sweet shocks as I've run them before and have nothing but good things to say about them. They are pricey though so be prepared to spend at least 5-6 bills for them.

I personally like option #1, don't put people in the back seat.
THAT'S WHY WE OWN THREE 2-DOOR VEHICLES!!!!!
