Default Which parts to replace?

Just curious, I have a 95 LS400 with 88k miles. Curious what are the best parts to replace to bring her back to new in regards to ride, smoothness and quietness? Already replaced the transmission mount. What are the ones you guys have replaced that made a huge difference in the feel of the car?

It may be kinda obvious here, but how about tires? I'd say more than 50% of the ride comfort quality comes from them, and the rest due to the Lexus build, fit and finish

Thanks guys. I'm really more concerned with the less obvious normal wear and tear stuff. I do think my shocks are getting close, but I must admit, I sort of like the bouncy ride. Espcially since I got rid of a maxima se that rode like a gocart. How about bushings, and so forth. Torque converter? stuff like that.

Thanks all.
