Is this the right way to upgrade?

Hi....I dont know anything about the chassi/traction thing. But I want more traction and better handling. Is this the right way to go?

Subframe connectors, control arms, relocated LCA, panhard bar and torque arm?

Most definitely the best way to go. Later on you can think of doing tubular front lower control arms, coil over shocks and a strut tower brace.
Then do a 1LE brake conversion to stop better power.

Get the bay brace after you put on the sfc's.
The others are at least there just need to be upgraded. The bay brace made a HUGE difference on how my car handled around bumpy corners.
