I bought a 1977 280z this spring. drove it stock all summer and love it. however winter in milwaukee is coming and if i cant drive it i might as well upgrade it. looking to do struts, header, exhaust, and clutch. the car is going to be driven on the street primarily however i would like to attend a few scca events here in milwaukee next summer. I understand comfort may have to succomb to performance so basically im looking for a good middle of the road. tokicos sound like the way to go for struts but are the illuminas worth the extra money over the blues. how is the pacesetter exhaust, it seems to be the most common i see. also can any body tell me what early style bumpers will fit on my 77. any info is much appreciated thanx.

why can't you drive you're z in the winter?

You can adjust the ride with a turn of a small screwdriver with the Illuminas so you can have your comfortable ride home and a stiffer shock for SCCA events.

the illuminas are adjustable. that may be why they are more expensive.
