$ for $, which is better?
Dollar for Dollar, which is a better buy for my L98 powered RS. It does NOT HOOK. 
Bone stock suspension, 8.5" wide centerlines, BFG Radial GT tires (265/50/15) Only "mod" I have on there besides the tires is the polyurethane torque arm bushing. (Which was good.)
Spohn Spherical end LCA's or Spherical end Panhard rod?

niether.
a car with relocated stock LCAs will hook harder then one with just aftermarket LCAs.
the panhard bar would help with the feel of the car around a corner, but have no effect on launch.
first place to spend your money is tires... after that for hooking at the track, id relocate the LCAs..
a free mod you can do at the track is to disconnect the endlinks of the front sway bar.... it does help. and you dont even need a jack to do it... just turn the wheel to the side and reach under there.

panhard does nothing for traction.
that should narrow it down between those 2 you listed.

Good shocks first, that is what controls wheel contact to pavement. Then go better LCAs to take out bushing deflection and arm flex. Next get relocation bracket (LCA's and brackets really should be done at the same time for ease of install). then get tires.
You just put good sticky tires on the car without upgrading everything else first and you will tear up you rearend from wheelhop.

I dont need it for the track, I want the car to be more controllable on the street.
LCA's and Relocation brackets huh?
