I had a 1990 that I bought used in 1995. Kept it for 7 years, the longest I've ever kept a car. Every now and then I kick myself for selling it.
The car responded beatifully to new shocks, springs, and a strut tower brace. What a lot of people don't know, was that the suspension was very adjustable. It had cam bolts for the camber settings. If you found the right alignment shop, and a technician willing to spend the time with you, the camber, caster, and toe could all be set on the alignment rack. Although the aligment might have been "in spec" from the factory, it was probably all over the place. If I remember correctly, mine had negative camber on one front wheel, and positive on the other. But it was still "in spec". A good alignment is probably one of the best things you could do for that car
