I think it should be around $125 for the front two because I think I spent around $250 for all four. So basic math....250/2= 125.

id love to drop just the front of the monte. idk though im trying to avoid putting anymore **** in it. im going to try and get a ss camaro next year and trade this thing in. dont want to drop it and then have to swap the springs back out when i demod it.
OP car looks way better now that you raised the back. now fix that sig pic.

Where'd you get the spring boosters from and how much?

Also...it looks like you're already going to have a rubbing issue...no noises from the rear yet, or did you have the quarter panels rolled? My 20's were 8.5w, +42 offset, with the 255 tire and it rubbed like a bitch, especially after I lowered it.
