66 Skylark convertible suspension upgrade help needed

[jimenezl]

I have a 66 Skylark with original but updated suspension (bushings, mostly). Although the ride is not bad, I'd like to upgrade the suspension to give the car a firmer, more modern feel and improved handling. I won't be racing or canyon-carving; just a little spirited cruising every now and then. Are there any benefits, for my purposes, in installing tubular control arms and drop spindles, in addition to sway bars and coil-overs? Thanks
Ps, the front rides pretty high so I want to lower it.
