i have pics of mine with the eibach kit in my gallery. i agree with rchurch about the handling. stock did feel a lil soft especially on the highway now it handles really well in my oppinion not real harsh at all and i am running a 255-35-zr20 tire go with the kit you wont be dissapointed

i looked @ the pics, and it doesn't really look like it sits a bunch lower, but it could just be the way i'm looking @ it

I agree its not that noticable by itself, but when parked next to a stock MC, you can really tell its lowered. I've even had a few MC owners ask me what is different about mine, not realizing its lowered but knowing its not stock.

thanks, i found it, just doesn't really look that much lower to me, but then i could be completely wrong...i dunno

i came from having a truck that had a 3-5 drop on it, so 1.5 doesn't really look like much...but i'd probably notice it when i see the 2 side by side

thanks though

I do agree that the drop isnt that noticoble until you put the two side by side. I have eibachs, KYB GR-2, and anti pogo washers from zzp. great handling and no bounce. I would recomend this if you want your monte to handle well. if you want a lower drop you could always go with Intrax suspension.

How do you get your car "aligned" after you're done lowering it?

Who can align a car?

up here its anywhere between 70 and 100 bucks to do an alignment....thats not too much considering the price of the equipment they use to do it

but yah, about 1 or 2 out of every 5 shops in each town can do an alignment
