Also note that some 1200s already have the heavy-duty sway bar. Measure it
B110: 17mm B110 HD: 20mm B210: 20mm

Some people say don't use poly on the tension rods, but instead use new Nissan bushings.
Poly on the rest will make the ride rough, but the suspension crisper.

Welcome... Sounds like you want to do what I have done. As most of the guys have suggested replace all your bushes/rubbers with nolethane ones. Unless they have been replaced at some stage earlier your existing ones are likely to be deteriated/cracked and not that great.
Instead of 'flipping a leaf' in the rear I had the local suspension shop reset them. Means that now ute now sits slightly lower than it did before with 2" lowering blocks. Replaced the front springs with the 'low option' from the king springs range. Finally I swapped the original sway bar with a 120y bar. This is an easy swap for a great gain, hardest bit is finding one. I did however do a little write up on how to do the swap which might help you out. http://datsun1200.com/modules/newbb/v ... id=399819#forumpost399819 Good luck.

If its just simple setup you want, as most people have said new bushes, new shocks, new springs and get leafs reset this plus a 120y sway bar will do the job

Andy, you hit it right on the head.
Quote: upgrades which will just bolt on like after market kits or parts from another car. 1. Fit a 120Y Sway Bar 2. Low profile wider tires. Instead of the stock 155/80R12, fit 175/60R13. It will be like day and night. My ute has flipped leaves and coilover front suspension lowered down. It handled terribly bad. On the highway pavement joints it would sometime bounce and loose traction momentarily. Putting shorter low-profile tires made it handle OK once again, although it is still too stiff. It might do well on a smooth tarmac track. The suspension still bottoms out against the unibody sometimes (bang!). You can view topic.
