Default What should my next investment be?

Pretty much I'm torn between doing the k member and lower control arms, a drag bar, or some drag shocks and springs. Right now I'm on all stock front suspension minus a set of bisteins and a coil cut on the stock springs. What will give me the most bang for my buck. Drag shocks, drag bar, or k member and control arms. The car does pull the front driver tire a couple inches with 17 x 9s. Haven't tried it with my skinnys yet but I'd imagine it'll get worse so I'm leaning more toward a drag bar. What do you guys think?

If it's pulling the front left more than a couple inches I think I'd probably opt for an anti-roll bar first.
