front end rebuild

I took my 68 Barracuda to a locally renowned suspension shop that has been around for 80+ years. My dad had work done on his 68 Camaro 30yrs ago there, they are a trusted place.

They gave me a list of things needed Torsion bar bushings, front shocks, strut bar bushings, upper arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints.

I decided to do a front end rebuild kit- might as well do it all at once.

Any suggestions on the best kits both in the quality and quantity of parts? Are there parts I should replace or look at that would not be part of a kit? The car has a 318 and drum brakes. I am on a budget and have seen kits from $220-$1000+ I do not want to go cheapest, but can't afford the most expensive.

Part II is doing the job. I haven't touched this type of stuff in 20yrs. I have a friend who is a mechanic who may be interested in doing it with me. I would like to build my own car, but is this the type of thing best left for the experts?

Thanks
