Yes. Spring rates are different. You probably want the V-8 springs and there was a sport option that included a swap bar and stiffer springs. I'd look for of those if you have choices.
2) Will my suspension and brake parts from my 1976 Camaro work on the Monte Carlo?
Its possible to swap the rotors, but it is not a direct swap. I've seen write-ups on how to do it, but don't recall the details. The advantage is the brakes are a little bigger on the Camaro if I remember correctly.
Check
enjenjo for details on the clip job. If you poke around I think the same guy has details on the brake swap too, but I've never saved that link.
