Setup Okay I was looking at getting bolt in tubular subframe connectors, adjustable tubular lower control arms, either bolt in or weld in relocation brackets, adjustable panhard bar, and crossmember mounted adjustable torque arm. I might not have enough money for all that because tire prices are raping me. So could you list them in order most important to least 1-5. I just want the best traction possible

lol thats not really what I asked. I'm not getting springs shocks and sway bars right now. No way in hell do I need a double adjustable panhard bar definitely overkill. And in no way will a k member help get me traction. Once again I'm getting subframe connectors, adjustable lca, relocation brackets, torque arm, adj panhard bar. But I'm trying to figure out which are most important that will give me the most noticeable gains in traction. This is for a daily driver that see's a little bit of track time
For strait line traction:
1) Body mouted T/A
2) LCA Relocation brackets
3) Tubular LCAs (get the ones with a rod end on one side)
4) Adjustable PHB
5) Subframe connectors
The list was just from the parts you mentioned. Hope that helps.

I'd suggest you think carefully about this. SFC's will not help the car launch, but if you go with a tunnel-mount TA, you better have them, and they best be 3-pts. so the load from the TA can be distributed and not put right into, and only into the tunnel-brace mounts which are very flimsy.
When I want the TA off the trans, I run an actual TA relocation kit which gives you a new tranny crossmember to hook the TA on, and where that bolts is a LOT tougher, and does not require SFC's to preserve you floorpan, which can rip otherwise.
PHB's and SFC's are NOT traction devices. The list would be TA, LCA's, and LCA brackets. However, there are many of each type, and you need to be careful here as well because some can have bad driveability effects, some don't. All will help traction alone, but why make a car drive bad to gain traction when you don't have to?

Sam,
Can you give some examples of a good setup for the TA, TA relocation kit, LCA's and LCA relocation brackets? more so of which to go with for a better driving car + have traction? i.e. poly/poly poly/rod?? I believe the OP will benefit from this aswell
p.s. I will be buying my suspension parts from you in a few months. (currently saving up)

I like TP3 myself.... It gets you:
-Pinion Angle Adjustable TA and bushing
-TA Relocation bracket
-Weld-in LCA Relocation brackets
-Single Adjustable LCA's
http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=18&ModelID=7
Why?
TA fits in place of a stock one, and that means with any exhaust. The TA relocation bracket gets the TA off the transmission tail-shaft. It's bushing mounted on a strong, strong part to a strong part of the floor, which means you transmit less noise. You can easily add your own Driveshaft loop if you like without any hassle. The Weld-in brackets are strong, and give you the most adjustment you can have from them (I normally run the stock hole, which is still accessable for handling apps, but you can just take the bolt out, and run a lower one at will for the strip). And the SA LCA's get rid of twisting of the arms and bushing wind-up, but let the axle articulate freely (important), and adjust for any rear-axle mis-alignment you might have, and most cars have some.
