Default Panhard vs. LCA

I am going to get both eventually, but which one puts more power to the pavement LCA's or panhard bars? I know the LCA prevents the rear from moving forward or back and the panhard side to side but which is more important to upgrade?

A PHB does nothing for straight line traction, it's a lateral locating device. LCA's and/or LCA reloctaion brackets can help traction a lot. But if you don't have decent tires, that's where you need to start, and you also need to know that some types of LCA's and certain positions on LCA brackets can mess with the handling and rear stability of the car in not good ways.

I go to the track occasionally, more drag than autox, but its my daily driver. I've heard that LCA's will help straight line traction, would BMR nonadj. tubulars be alright?

Yeah, currently everything is stock except the torque arm, thats an adjustable spohn. I am thinking about getting some non adjustable BMR LCA's, will I be kicking myself thinking i should have gotten the adjustable ones?
