Dual Rod LCA's and TQ Arm. Cromoly for weight savings. Spohn would be my choice. Possibly sub-frame connectors as well (they are great for driving around as well), they will stiffen up the car a possibly give you better consistency out of the hole. It is not required to get relocation brackets if you are not lowerd. Your pinion angle and inst. center can be adjusted with the TQ arm. This should give you all the adjustment you will need.

Why dont you want springs and shocks? FWIW, A good set of each will shave some off of your 60ft as well.

someone told me that I shouldn't get a torque arm if I don't have more suspension work already. anyone else heard that?

Did they mean because of price? Ive never heard that. It is my next suspension mod. I have SFC's on the way, and I have LCA's on already.

All I can think is that they were saying that there is a couple of cheap and easy suspension mods you can do first before going with a TQ arm.
