I lucked out big time when I got mine. I got a held motorsports rear STB and a cutlass front STB off another member for 150 bucks. I ended up selling the front STB to another member after I made a round tube one while I was a school. It cost me all of 13 dollars to make lol and its way nicer and stronger than the cutlass one was.

They should fit, I mean, they're the same basic car, but like other people have said, they may not fit exactly (I guess they're not made very precisely) so you may have to play with them to make them fit

@Burt - This is a 2 year old thread.
But to answer the ZZP question, I ended up putting ZZP STBs on my Monte (front and rear). I had to modify and oblong the holes. Some claim even though the Grand Prix those were made for should match the Monte, I think it's the brace itself (as I mocked it on a friend's '97 Grand Prix prior to modifying the holes and it did NOT look like a direct bolt on).
As for the "real" issue of the ZZP bolt holes, who knows. All I can say is, YES, I had to modify mine. BUT, the price was crazy good (I got mine as a ZZP Black Friday deal with a crazy discount).

Do the 2000-2005 Montes and the 2006-2007 Montes have the same rear strut setup? I have a 2006 with a BMR front brace and would like to get the rear strut tower brace from BMR as long as the one advertised for the 2000-2003 models will fit my 2006 with just a little tweaking on the bolt holes, if needed.
