Worth it?

Prothane 14 2003 79 83 Nissan Datsun 280ZX Suspension Bushing Kit Polyurethane | eBay


worth it for a brush up on stock rubbers? I'm relatively sure that with the exception of the sway bar bushings, my ZX is on original rubbers from the factory. I realize that I would need some rubber bushings for the t/c rods (either end, right? does that mean one half of each t/c rod ends, or one half of each end of the t/c rod end?), but is it a worthwhile upgrade for a relatively stock zx? anything else you would recommend that doesn't come in the kit?

It's worth it... the stock 30+ year old bushings are most likely shredded, and creaking. The install is easy as long as you have some pneumatic tools to speed up the process. You'll have to chisel out the control arm bushing shells. I've discussed this all before too... so ya know... feel free to search.
