      g-body bump stops

      i'm lowering and upgrading my 87 monte. what bump stops should i use, front and rear?
      one fell off, i think it came off the axle by the yoke. does it mount on the axle or on the body above it? how important is it?

      don't know about the back, but for the front I have the ZQ8 S10 ones. There is a lot of write ups on them & praise to how good they are. Search on Montecarloss.com for info, I believe that is where I found out about them.

      I think they changed part numbers since I bought mine. And I don't think I have the boxes mine came in, so I may not be able to tell you for sure what the number is. I'll see what I can find.

      the zq8's are just for the lower control arms right? what about the upper? and does anyone have any opinions on the rears? even just stock vs. poly.

      they're small but they are there. course i don't know how important they are. i'm not too worried about them, mostly the rear.
