firefighter_0029 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 My Monte has the same front suspension as a Gen 1 and the Rear is from a Gen 2 Right?? Right Now I just bought Eibach Springs, KYB Struts and Moog Poly Sway Bar and Control Arm Bushings. The Shop told me they can get me in next week as long as the KYB Rear Strut Mounts come in. To top off the Suspension I want to get a Strut Bar. I need to know which strut bar will fit on the front. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 You are correct on the front suspension being the same as the 1G. The rear suspension is nothing like the 2G, and is unique to the 95-99 Monte and 95-01 Lumina (that's why those Montes/Luminas are considered 1.5G W-Bodies.) You can order up a 2G front strut tower brace from GMPartsDirect (IIRC, it's called the "Buick F-Bar.") ZZPerformance sells brackets that adapt the 2G STB to the 1G strut towers, so you can install the bar without drilling any holes... Quote

Well then how come all the BMR suspension stuff fits the first gens and the 1.5's? Quote
firefighter_0029 Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Posted October 24, 2006 Got any part #'s for the Bar? Quote
patgizz Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 12456148 you need to put a small dent in the bar to use with the 3.4 to clear the EGR, Quote

19Cutlass94 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 1997-2006 General Motors W-Body (Pontiac Grand Prix, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Intrigue) Thats what they say their products will fit, but I know some stuff is interchangeable... Quote

I think everything fits. It fits the 1.5 Montes. I know a guy on MIStreetScene that has BMR in the rear. Quote
AWeb80 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 From BMR, the Trailing arms will work as will the Lat link arms.....cause the lat link arms on the second gens work on our cars too.. Quote

Euro Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 thats a good point...i forgot about that im sure it will tho Quote
