I can't say for sure with just the torsion bar bushings but for the suspension rebuild I did on my W123 it felt like a totally different car. I'm sure new torsion bar bushings were helping...

Take another look at how the suspension parts connect together - new bushings on the upper control arm are certainly going to give a more positive feel - and any sloppiness in a longitudinal direction would be improved with new bulkhead bushings.
