Hi everyone,
My name's Dave and I own an '87 Monte Carlo SS.
I see that there's a whole bunch of familiar faces on here from Montecarloss.com and other forums that I'm on....Hi guys!
I signed up a little while ago and have spent 99% of my time here searching the suspension forum as I'm finally serious about making my car handle as well as my daily driver WRX. It's a little sad when your "fun car" is outhandled by the little blue wagon that you drive to work!:slap:
My car currently has the infamous B-body 12" brake upgrade, which, after reading on here HAS to go if I ever want the car to handle better. I'm not sure as to which direction to go with the front suspension, although I'll make a new thread getting into more detail later.
I'm also looking at swapping out the rear UMI control arms as well as they're currently using poly bushings in 3 out of the 4 corners (I have new rubber for the upper axle, so that shouldn't have to change).
Hopefully no one minds if I save some typing and post up a link to details of my car:

Here's a few recent photos of the car:

Anyways, I'm looking forward to participating in this forum and will hopefully one day be able to contribute more than I take away in terms of information. :)
