If I were going to buy suspension components a little at a time, I would do it in this order:
chassis bracing
springs and shocks/struts
caster/camber plates
control arms
panhard bar
With my cars the next step is to buy a torque arm and remove the upper arms altogether (the panhard bar locates the rear axle laterally and the torque arm controls rotation of the axle, so with these two components you no longer need upper arms at all).
