Default SUSPENSION to reduce ET: what to get first?

ok car is 440 rwhp NA, will have 250 wet shot once motor is broke in. 27" slicks. car has BMR TA only(non adjustable) and SFCs are on the way. car is lowered (not willing to give up that)

ive got a question for all the experts. i can only afford to buy 1 item every 1-2 months. so id like to buy the parts in order of importance. ie in order that will drop my et/help traction the most.
:help:

so what order should i buy these rear suspension parts in? (top helps traction the most, bottom helping the least)

adjustable shocks , adjustable TA , rear control arms, relo brackets , panhard rod , other?

I would talk to Sam Strano if I were you. Post this same question in the handling section. Sam will set you straight!!! and I bet that after you talk to him you will walk away spending less money!
