Red face Z-51 Suspension

I have never replaced any suspension parts on my 1988 Roadster with 142K miles. Nowadays I feel the rough ride in spite of replacing my tires (which usually is the problem after 25K miles). Which parts should I start possibly checking/replacing to bring back that stiff (not rough) ride I once had?

Sure it's not the z52? That's what ragtops have.

I replaced my shocks and my sway bar bushings and all is well at 105,000
