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?

 

Are you doing the install yourself, and do you have a spring compressor?

 

thats a contradiction! he will need a compressor to do the job himself!

 

That's why I asked if he was doing the job himself, so he didn't try to start it and realize UH OH

 

Yeah I actually found one at Harbor Freight:

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=43753

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)

 

go for it.

 

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.

 

Never heard of the coils but I assure you you're going to love the struts! I loved the one's I had.

 

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.

 

don't put that wimpy 225/55 on. 235/55 will look better, but if it's me i get some 17" or 18" bullitts.
