Upgrading the suspension

I am going to replace the old suspension parts and figured that I should go ahead and upgrade. What parts manufacturer do you guys recommend, and what all SHould I replace? Most of it is obvious but I am new to the Z, and foreign cars in general.

What year is the car? Is it turbo or NA? 2+0 or 2+2?

Sorry, its a 1983 280ZX NA 2 seater. I may try my hand at SCCA Solo but not competitively. ALthough I am going to make some mods to the engine I am not planning anything over 220hp, and even thats unlikely. More than likely it will be in the 180hp range. I just want a really good handling street car that I could take and run in SCCA for fun, but thats not what the car is being set up for.


Thanks

Really nice. Mine looks pretty good, but I am going to redo the interior and get it painted. Crrently its gold with the brown/tan interior. I am canging the interior to black I think and I may change the color.

To bad you arent a bit colser. If yor ever down this way hit me up and we can meet up.
