The car is mostly driven on curvy country Roads
Given that and the budget mentioned the stock suspension is more than adequate. Tires will be the biggest bang for the bucks.
Some might suggest some sort of "improvement" but if you update the rear without updating the front too then you'll have an "interesting" ride. If you update the front as well you blow the budget.
Figure out what tire would be best, what the budget is for the 4 of them then that will leave whatever is left for the rear suspension. Priority one is getting rid of the air shocks. At this point you will likely have hit your budget limit. Probably go over it if you have 14" rims right now, no "good" tire in the 14" rim size. At least not one that would qualify it as belonging in this forum anyway.
