Brake pad, shocks, and spring suggestions.

[81cutlass]

Most of the suspension parts on my cutlass are 15 years old and really need to be replaced. Was going to wing it but the front pads started squeeking, the shocks are shot and the car leans down 2 inches to the right. I have looked a bit but theres so many options and I am on a budget so Id kinda like to keep stuff reasonably priced.

Brake pads. Looked but theres 10 different types and it gets rediculously confusing. I noticed that a brake pad is different for a 78-81 than 82-88, is that right? Any suggestions for front pads? Looking for something good, but not something that costs an arm and a leg

Springs. I am looking for something like an F41 spring to replace my stock V6 springs but i am worried that my turbo 6 I got in there weighs so much less than a V8 that it will sit so much higher in the front. Thats why I didnt take any off a MC SS I saw at a yard. Maybe a slight 1-2 inch drop in the front and back.

Shocks. Looking for something peformance oriented without being completly rough or super pricey. Its a street car.

Kinda sounds like a stupid question but theres just so many options out there. I cant find anything I want. Thanks!

If you want a good spring with a slight drop, get the Eibach set. Also, the lean could be from worn suspension bushings and/or body mount bushings.
