best bang for the buck?

whats the best bang for the buck suspension mod for my 89 rs 305? there are alot of possibilities. i could get a strut tower brace, better pan hard arm, heavier sway bars, better trailing arms, wonderbar, ect. where is the best place to start for the money? what will provide the most noticeable difference in handling? what is the best order to do suspension work? where do you guys start and finish? so far suspension is stock, i fixed everything that was wrong with it, but stock. i replaced sway bar links, worn idler arm, and bad centerlink.

Then perhaps springs, struts, and shocks.

Re: best bang for the buck?

Then replace the rubber mounts that are left after that trans torque arm sway bars etc. Anything your not going to replace with a upgrade anytime soon. What I mean by that is I replaced my rear panhard and control arm on the rear they came with new rubber so no need to replace the rubber on the old control arms. Hope that clears my statement up.
