my productive response? keep it clean and stock. theres nothing nicer
than seeing a well cared for luxury car in its original pristine
condition. a co-worker has a 91 LS400, over 300k miles on it and it
still looks showroom new. sweet.

I'm sure you can tighten up the handling with shock absorbers but Tokico
seems to have nothing for that model and KYB has only the GR-2s which are
closer to an OEM shock than a performance. Only thing I see is Konis but
I've no knowledge of how well they work. The Legend is targeted more at
the comfort end of the market so it may be difficult to find performance
mods for the engine .

better tires
replace shocks if worn
stiffer rear swaybar
run synthetic motor oil so you will feel smug
don't do anything with the engine coz it probably won't make much difference
make sure all parts of the car are well-maintained and in good working order

That's what I did, and I'm pretty content.
