Never getting up to 90 will probably be thermostat.

Squeaky brakes, strip down and get the copper grease out, check the discs/pads aren't worn too.

Not sure how suspension is stiff and bouncy but if it's been lowered 60mm on standard shocks for some time I'd guess the shocks are done for, check the FK sale thread in general chat for cheap replacements.

Possible head gasket failure, although sometimes condensation can be a cause. Is there the same in the coolant bottle?

Do a sniff test or compression test to confirm.
