Question about lowering the monte

Bowtiemontecarlo · 02-05-2008, 10:10 PM

Yea like the title says ,i wanna lower the monte a couple inches .Was just wondering how many inches i can lower it without replacing the stock spindles?

Some ppl tell me i gotta replace them as soon as i start lowering it .

I wanna lower the front 2 inches and the rear 2and a half .

Not really sure if your going to get that type of answer here on TR, Maybe you would have better luck on a Chevy/Buick/Monte/Grand Nat. type of forum.

Depending on how you do it, you don't have to replace spindles.
2" should be OK. I have gone a lot more by using stock car
racing coil springs front and Landrum racing springs on the back.

Good news is the stock adjusters will let you take out the negative camber as you drop it down.-Bob

You can get suspension parts where that car will be a handler
on a road course.

Why not just put drop spindles on it period? Theres a few choices available inexpensively.
