for best results for an alignment, slot your strut holes to allow for camber adjustment, top bolt hole in the rear and bottom bolt hole in the front.

It may be easlier to buy some camber bolts....that is what I did and everything aligned perfectly.

Anyway, you will LOVE the way your car looks and rides after you lower it.

ok so it rode amazing. im scared to put my 20s on cuz they might rub do to sticking out further. im going to ride stock rims for a couple of days then get it aligned so that the springs can settle in. Here they are. sorry for the dirty car. its been raining. the back sags a lot cuz its sitting on a slant and i have tools in the back. With me and a friend it took about 4 hrs with some breaks.






Front springs

Rear springs

I think it is time to throw down some cash for a set of those springs.

That's always been one thing that irked me about the Monte is the over all feel of the suspension, sure it does what it needs to do, but it could have always been better. Figure those springs and the front and rear strut tower braces should do the trick.

Your Monte is looking real good with those springs! Has anyone installed these with 20'' wheels? Any problems with rubbing? I would love a set of these springs but I live in Upstate NY, which = pot hole hell.

Looks good. Scared to do it on my car though. The roads are too shitty in Michigan and the winters are just as shitty.

There are some people on here that have 20s and lowered. I have my black wheels that are 20s but they arent going on till i get it aligned.
