If wheel hop is not an imediate problem then I would suggest the torque arm first. Why?- because it is much more expensive- after you save up and buy that then the relocation brackets will follow soon because they are alot less expensive.

Thats always my method- buy the expensive things first, then you're committed and the cheaper things will follow.

i would go with the relocaion brackets and the arms first. especially if your car is lowered, to regain the correct suspension geometry. i would get sub-frame connectors first if you don't have them, even though that's not what you asked.

if your car aint lowered and u see that ur lower control arms are in the correct geometry than id get the torque arm; then get the LCA brackets. the lca brackets alone, you'll be able to feel a difference in traction.
