Help me prioritize my suspension Shocks / Struts (Koni)
Front sway bar (??)
Rear sway bar (??)
Adjustable torque arm (??)
Adjustable LCA (??)
Relocation bracket for LCA (??)
Poly trans mount (??)
Adjustable pan hard bar (??)
Do I need adjustable on everything? It is mostly a DD, but of course I want the performance when I need it.
If I replace all the above, do I need to still buy a complete bushing kit?

#1-Shocks Koni SAs are a great choice
#2-Adjustable PHR (only if you change ride height)
#3-Springs (I couldn't be happier w my Strano springs, they perform awsome, I like the ride better-than stock, and 1.2" drop looks good!)
#4-Sways bars (I'd do a matched pair-again stranos)
For a DD I would skip the adjustable stuff, torque arm stuff, and LCAs.
Just my $.02

Thats right on the head! Good stuff . Only optional is the Springs. Some people with crappy roads or dont' want to lower that much just do the hose mod and front perch with the Koni's or if you have 3 inch duals hee hee
I would skip the other stuff like he said too.

depends. even though you said a dd that does tell much. when you want it to perform are we talking straight line or through the curves? if we're talking straight line,
#1: Shocks and Sturts. Adjustable is nice so you can fine tune your setup.
#2:LCA's and LCA Relocation Brackets. Then you'll have the ability to change your instat center and reduce wheel hop.
#3: Adjustable Torque Arm: I can't stress the improvements you'll see with being able to change your pinion angle. Again you'll increase your ability to hook and reduce wheel hop.
#4: Pan Hard Bar: Get adjustable if you're going to lower the car.
#5: Sway Bars
