just got the eibach springs installed the front end sits much lower but it didnt get rid of the gap in the wheel wells that much...it would be filled out alot nicer if i had some nice 20's...as for the ride i couldnt really test her out because if u live in the northeast we just got hit with a nasty snowstorm that dropped a good 10" of snow where i live so the roads are pretty icy but i took some pics yesterday before the drop and when the snow stops ill take some after pics and post them up

Cool man can't wait to see pics! I just got my springs and they should be going in next week. The suspension shop is gonna install mine for $120.
Mike, yes you will need an alignment shortly after you install the springs. I know people who installed springs and didn't align afterwards, but some people don't change their oil either. And I guess you could install only the front springs if you wanted. Is your rear end sagging or something?

Thats why I was thinking of only installing the front springs.
Edit: Do they sell a camber kit for the 06-07 Monte?

They should but a good alingment shop should be able to adjust the camber without you having to purchase a camber kit. Find a nice local alignment shop where you live.

About the alignment, you definitely need to have that done after the springs. But you should know that the rear has very little adjusment. After we aligned mine, I wasn't happy with the "tilted in" look of the rear wheels (like stock). So we slotted the strut bolt holes at the bottom of each rear strut, and pulled the top of the wheels out, making it more straight up and down. Basically, I wanted it to not look like a fwd car, and this was the only way to accomplish that. An extra benefit to doing this, is that you'll get better wear on the rear tires. Instead of wearing out the inside shoulder's first, it wears more evenly.
As soon as it's not raining/snowing here anymore, I'll go take some pics and post em up, so you can see what I mean.
