What is best way to reduce wheel well?
 
I hate how i can see the wheel well on my monte, whats the best way to not see as much, but without lowering it to the point of scraping on everything? I want it to look good!

More rim / more tire / lowering <- Those about it. I hate it too, so I suggest maybe bigger rims, or if you like riding comfy, more beefy tire and lower it.

how much would it be to lower it I'm talking springs, struts, and install? or do i need struts or just springs?

Just need springs :)

Dale_Jr_123 02-10-2014 10:55 PM

Woah woah woah.

Not just springs, you'll blow your stock struts extremely quick and ride like crap.

You're going to need struts, springs, anti-pogo washers and an alignment at the very least.

Took 35k miles to wear my struts out after i lowered it, and i dropped it 5". And they were rhe struts that came with the car

Well if you dont' care about safety you can just cut the spring or compress it like the Honda boys do.

But I recommend doing the strut/spring combo.

Here's a good, DIY combo that doesn't require spring compressors: ZZPerformance - Drop in Strut/Lowering Spring Combo #

Your 5th gen? I would like to see it dropped the apparent 5".

Stock struts are not meant for springs that ride lower, anything over 10k miles on stock struts is getting lucky.
