The first time you do something, especially brakes and suspension, it really would be best to have some experienced help by your side. As to the parts themselves, I have always used Moog for suspension parts. Although I have ran into some issues with them recently.

You didn't say what you plan to do to the front end, but asked about special tools. Here are a few items and what it takes to change them; Upper ball joints will require a special socket and are easiest to remove and install with an impact. Upper control arm bushings are easiest to change when you build a jack shaft set-up. Lower control arm bushings will require pulling the torsion bars which can require some big sockets, pry bar or some way to clamp them to beat them back. The bushings themselves are best removed with a cut-off wheel and hydraulic press.

This is just the tip of the ice berg. If the front end has never been apart, an oxy-acetyline torch is often handy to help with removing those bolts that have been in place for 45 years or so. And on and on.

We all need some help getting started in a hobby. This is especially true with hi-performance automobiles. Good luck and enjoy!
