Feeling floaty

Hey,
Just went for a drive in the hills and enjoyed my new tires . The car still felt quite 'floaty' like I wasn't quite conected to the ground properly (allthough it did feel soo much better with newer tures). Can this floaty feeling most likley be fixed by new suspension and bushes?

new bushings will help out alot. and so will struts.

my cars bushings were shot, and the sturts were blown.

my car felt like it was floating on air around 70mph. new bushings and sturts makes it feel mmmm mmmm good.

Putting Tokico blues on the 83 changed mine completely: no more float. As sure-footed as a goat around corners.
