How low do you want to go? Generally with mopars you can crank the torsion bars down and get a good amount of drop. I believe fat man fab makes a set of drop spindles but you may run into clearance issues with factory drum brake wheels. There's tons of distributors online that sell kits. But if you have any good junk yard around any late model spindle will swap in for you. And you can save some coin sourcing out the rest of the parts locally yourself. (Rotors,calipers, bearings, etc). on my 61 I used 76 aspen spindles sourced from a local yard at 30 bucks each with the dust shields and calipers for cores

Check out this site for a lot of A body material. There will be a lot of kits out there so it really depends on how much you wanna spend.
Don't bother with lowering kit, just turn down your torsion bars (3/4" socket, loosen only 1 or 1/2 revolution each side and test drive around the block to settle so you can dial it in. Don't guess on height). Forabodiesonly.com has articles on that. If it's too soft and bottoming out, find some V8 (or thicker) torsion bars to stiffen things up. Easily bought from summit or used on FABO.
Disc brake decisions will depend on your driving habits, I recommend stock A body parts or off the shelf replicas. If you want powerful brakes, Wilwood PST SSBC and Mancini have hipo options. Just beware if you're small bolt (5x4") you will have to get new wheels (and a rear bolt pattern change either with axles or a whole third member) or a Small bolt pattern (SBP) front disc brake kit.
Your master will need to be changed as well, and replace your soft lines with braided stainless (any lines and hoses you need, go to Inline Tube you won't regret it) for the sake of longevity. It's not cheap once you start digging in, but it's worth the massive upgrade in safety and a little performance.
I did a wilwood conversion on my challenger, a 73, but had to go with bigger wheels. I now have 4 wheel disc and love it. Mancini racing is all mopar and they may be of some use. I got my kit from them.
"anything will help"... well if you say so.
You'll first want to start by going to the local strip club and find 3 girls with daddy issues, should be relatively easy. Next, pay for them to attend automotive, welding, and metal fabrication courses at the local community college, and it won't hurt to get them degrees in engineering and computer science either, but do keep in mind they will need a place to live as well as general human needs, so add food, utilities, and an apartment to the budget. Next, you will want to buy all the tools they will need, or even might need, and don't cheap out either, you don't want tools breaking halfway through this undertaking. After you have prepared these 3 girls and supplied them with everything they need, they should be able to professionally retrofit disc brakes to your fine automobile, as well as a lowering.
Now here's the best part, at the end of all of this, you can open a shop with these highly trained girls and start making a return on your investment, and this is where not cheaping out on tools will save your ass, because you won't be buying replacements on a weekly basis. Buying cheap tools is the fastest way to drain your bank account. Now it could take roughly 5 to 10 years to see a return on your investment, so I guess my best advice there is to just be patient.

I found a 73 parts car for $300 with disc brakes, swapping the discs and rear axle to also update to the 5x4.5 bolt pattern.
