There are some differences.... some have holes to mount sway bar endlinks and some don't. I think my monte only has those in the rear, but the gxp is both the front and rear.

I'm just wondering which ones to order. I don't want to put lowering springs on stock struts.

I assume it wouldn't wear them out too bad since the lowering springs are the factory spring rate, just shorter...I might just do the stockers.

What exactly did you install monte? Just the springs, cambers, and anti pogo?

I might be looking to do something but Im reading up on what I might need and whats it going to cost.

The SSCs and the DonRome STBs turn this car into a whole different animal. Corners are great now.
