There are lots of things, but the best change you could ever make is shocks. You can get new bushings. Rubber is OK if yours are old will improve handling and feel. If you already have good rubber bushings, you can change to polyurethane which will tighten things up. Opinions vary. Some people think that the poly bushings are too harsh and noisy. I like them. You can mix and match, by replacing the sway bar hardware with poly and keeping the rest rubber for comfort. You could buy new seats with nice, firm padding and good side bolsters. You could upgrade your tires to larger wheels (~17x8) and use modern, low profile rubber like a 275/40/17 tire. You could upgrade your steering to a higher effort faster ratio box for better road feel. Probably some other things...
