The rolling and pitching can be improved more than you'd think by refreshing your sway bar bushings (front & rear) as well as the links on the ends of the rear sway bar (that attach to the lower control arms). Further, if your shocks are older than 100k miles, they aren't what they used to be and you'd notice the difference (same thing as regards the rear air cells, which handle most of the rear dampening).

I've got an '88 TE with 242k (original engine & trans, though the trans is gona get rebuilt in the spring before it strands me) miles and I just renewed everything I've mentioned; the rear sway bar "links" made the biggest difference, since one was really shot in my case.

Good luck!
