Looking to lower my Monte, would like to hear some suggestions from you guys who have done this.
I was thinking about 2 or 3 inches as the car sits very high.

2" lower drop spindles up front and 1" drop springs in rear look good

I used drop spindles for many years, don't like them. They move your tire up in the wheel well and makes running a taller or bigger tire impossable. Increase bump steer on gbody's. I would lower the car with springs.

That's surprising. I always thought that the whole point of dropped spindles was to retain factory geometry.

Once you get it all together and aligned let us all know how you like it. I've been considering dropped spindles myself and would very much like to hear how it works out.
