Dropped the Monte

[85_SS]

I shamelessly let someone else do the drop, although with the exception of the front springs it would have been easy enough since it was just a mix and match of Belltech components. Fronts are 2" drop S-10 springs which I am guessing have dropped the front 3" from stock, the rears are 1.5" G-body springs, but they didn't do much of anything as of yet. I would like the rears to settle a touch, but the fronts are about as low as I can go so hopefully they stay put. Belltech drop shocks were also used all around.

For once I picked some different locations for the pics:

I'm quite happy with the new look - like I say the rear dropping a touch more would be nice, but it kind of has a cool rake right now as well 🙂

Looks great! Perhaps one day I'll see you cruising around!

Thanks - I make it to the Mapleview cruise a couple times a summer, so perhaps I will see you there 8)

give those rear springs about 6 months, and you'll be happy...i had the same reaction when i dropped my old prix.

I haven't measured, but it's been over a year and if they did drop any more it wasn't much. I even put some weight in the trunk for a while. I should measure it and compare though, as I may be fooling myself (if I can find my old measurements!)
