Posted April 9, 200421 yr comment_76151 It’s finally warm enough to get some work done, but I could use some guidance first. •First, when switching from a points type distributor I was wondering what the better option is, trigger type (petronics) or late mode swap. If a swap to later model unit is the way to go, does anyone have one they would like to part with?•Second, aside from the assorted bushings and tools, what other parts should I have on hand when changing springs and struts?•Third, anyone know of a good bushing source other than MSA or VBL? Thanks for the input,Dan Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/11174-finally-spring-need-z-related-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 9, 200421 yr comment_76158 1. I like the 79-80 280ZX distributor upgrade as compared to the petronix. Most others will say the petronix, but Ive always used the ZX distributor with great results and never any problems and ease of installation.2. A GOOD set of spring compressors. PB Blaster for bolts that may be rusted.3. www.suspension.com Bar none the cheapest place around, talk to Bruce Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/11174-finally-spring-need-z-related-advice/#findComment-76158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 9, 200421 yr Author comment_76184 Zmefly,Thanks, that is a much better price on the poly bushings. Sometimes I think the big two (MSA/VBL) are way to pricey. Thanks again, you and suspension.com just saved me fifty bucks!

April 9, 200421 yr comment_76241 Not sure of suspension.com's price, but summit racing was marginally cheaper when i bought the "hyperflex" urethane kit.
