Which would help traction more???

Lower Control Arms, LCA reloction brackets or torque arm? This is on a nearly stock 99 Z28 A4 with 3.23's
Car will be used to drive to the track to bracket race and then back home if that makes a difference. I am trying to find something to allow me to dead hook at the track.

Tires to start with, but I'd vote for LCAs and relocation brackets after that.

The class I race you have to run a regular street tire.

If your car is at the stock ride height i would go and do the LCA and relocation brackets first.You can come back and do the TA

from what i understand, the torque arm is a better traction provider than the lower control arms and relocation brackets. but i could be wrong.

The stock torque will actually handle quite a bit.. stock LCAs are pretty crappy, you can improve them by switching to the 1LE version. The stock LCA bushings are the weak leak in there. Personally, if I was upgrading the suspension, I'd do the LCAs before the torque arm. An aftermarket torque arm with stock LCAs would pretty much suck.
