Question Best rear traction components??

Basically, im wondering about straight acceleration suspension.... eyed on, of course, traction, and minimizing the dreaded wheel hop.

On my 88, in first gear as soon as i hit 3500+ rpm, i loose traction... pretty much as soon as the damn car gets in its power range, it cant go anywhere. The irony. Sigh.

Anyway..
Best way to deal with this?? I know getting decent control arms, and of course, subframe connectors will hopefully help.
But what else is needed to plant those tires in the ground?

best results with least parts changed??

I am basically just looking for info..
So sky's the limit..

But when i actually purchase the parts, i wouldnt want them to be extortionate.
in my eyes, 500+ dollars (US) for a pair of upper control arms is WAY to much...
The FRPP ones that i saw were like 70 bucks from summit.
Thats around the price range i want to stay in, depending of course on the quailty of the product, and its effectiveness.
So im willing to bend quite a bit.

-lower control arm, with three piece bushings (maximummotorsports)
upper control arm, are not neccesary if installing a torque arm
-panhard bar
-torque arm
-a good set of struts, shocks
-and springs ( there are different rates, so you would have to contact MaximumMotorsports let them know what you wanna do with your car, and they'll hook you up)
that should do a good all around job. straight and when cornering
