Vogtland coils and AGX struts?
I about to pull the trigger on some suspension stuff. I just want some opinions, since you are my Monte Carlo family
This is how it prices out:
Vogtland springs: $222.99 Shipped (Want a smaller drop)
KYB AGX struts: $460.00 Shipped
Extra parts I figured $200 for mounts ect. (Hopefully less)
Total: $882.99
Opinions?

For $40 Plus a %20 off coupon I figured I couldn't go wrong
(What do you guy think, PRICE wise, about the stuff up top)

im not sure if that one at harbor frieght is fancy or something, but when i did mine, i rented it for autozone. all you have to do is give them your id.
and idk why mounts for the monte are so expensive.
i did mine on the old lumina, basiclly the same car and the mounts were 20 bucks a piece. i reused the old bellows{rubber dust covers}. i out the old struts in a vise and cut them in have with a cut off wheel to same 30 bucks. lol
and im pretty sure the insulators on the bottom arent that much.
anyways everywere i look for the monte, the mounts are 40/50 a piece, then the bellows are 30-40 a set. seems like theirs the same parts, they just cost more.

Well its a done deal! I will be sure to take before and after shots. I just got back a while ago from Harbor Freight, I could spend $1000 in that store and still not be satisfied. I might have some install questions so hope some of you won't get too annoyed lol. I only have 17" rims and 225/55 tires but it should look nice.
PS- I used the %20 off on the Clam shell spring compressor and it ended up being only $31 before tax so I came out pretty good on it.
