A W114 with nice tires and a tight standard suspension handles sublimely.
It's going to be difficult, if not impossible, to improve the handling of the car without significantly compromising the ride quality.

Shocks, rubber bushings, steering shock, tie rods, steering box, etc., all need to be in first class order before making any changes. Get it right, and you'll be amazed at what the car will do with the stock suspension.
