Default SSC's are on the Monte!
I finally had them installed, but only in the front. I didn't/couldn't get the rears done because my sound system in the trunk weighs a lot. That would make the rear sit a lot lower than the front, which is not a nice look. The ride feels the same and I am glad I did it. It looks so agressive now.

Nice mike!

Too bad your system drops the back so low....I'm not really a fan of that raked look on our cars. They look smoother at all one height because the car is so long.

I know, i would've loved for it to be leveled, but it'll never happen unless I find .5" lowering springs.

Yes my back and front emblems are white. There are overlays on ebay, but I just bought a new set and took them to a shop to have them painted.

Looks Awesome.

I like the way it sits Now. Another thing....... atleast your rims don't pop out like some I have seen. Buying the correct Size and Offset does Wonders.
