Take the car to a good alignment shop and have them check out steering and suspension. Loose/worn wheel bearings, bushings, inner/outer tie rods, ball joints will all make the car handle imprecisely, thus negating all the effort and $$ on shocks, bars and braces.

My daughter's 83: Turbo sway bars (23/21mm), PBR Deluxe brake pads and gen Volvo rotors, Bridgestone LS-T 195-70/14 tires on stock steel wheels. Power bled the hydraulic system with ATE "Blue" fluid (DOT-4).

I modified the headlighting system so inner high beam units are run at half-power as daytime running lights anytime ignition is on, handbrake off and low beams off. Outer headlights are Hella E-code with Silverstar bulbs. Installed a high-mount stoplamp in the rear window as on 85+ Volvos, and 30W halogen bulbs in the brakelights. New (ie: clear) windshield, supplied and installed by the shop the Volvo dealer uses.

The rest is up to her.
