I'm looking for recommendations on a front suspension kit for my 72 Demon. I don't have a ton of cash, so no top of the line options will work.
Wanting choices that you've used and you're happy with.
I've been told I should convert to disc brakes in front. Open to opinions and options. I currently have 14", small bolt pattern Rallye wheels and would like to keep them if possible.
Thanks in advance..!

I would get the car up on a lift and do a complete review of the existing front and rear suspension and underbody for: wear and corrosion. If you see items there that need attention that may impact your priority list.
As far suspension improvements, new and better modern shocks can make a big difference as well as stiffer larger diameter torsion bars. Folks that are into suspension tuning tend to upgrade shocks and torsion bars from timer to time. Watch the for sale adds or start a parts wanted post. You may be able to get lightly used components at a nice discount from new.
And yes, disk brakes will add a safety margin over drum brakes. The change to disks should be a priority. To keep the SBP the Kelsey Hays 4 piston disk brakes from a 72 and down A body would work. There are probably other SBP options.
Sub frame connectors can also be an inexpensive item to upgrade the cars feel. The subframe connectors available as a ready to install kit can be pricy, but if you or a buddy can weld and has access to a couple if lengths of steel tube, you can build and install them yourself. Google “ home made subframe connectors “.
