Rear Suspension Do Over I guess

So I ran out of talent, coincidentally with all traction control off on my car with shitty tires, but really, I just lost talent. I crashed/wrecked/bumped my car a few days ago. Oversteer, countersteer, snap oversteer the other way into some fun little 60mph spins until I hit a curb square on the passenger side.

Shop got back to me on what is wrong. Basically needs to be replaced: two wheels, two tires, the rear subframe, along with my cut brake line, one shock (I'm having them put on RCE springs while they've got it torn down) rear sway bar, looks like a bunch of types of lateral link assemblies, rear sway bar, wheels and tires somehow will need to be replaced (I think they're only going to replace two).

So, MY QUESTION! If you had to remove and replace all those rear components, anything aftermarket you'd replace OE with while you were down there? I figured sway bar, springs, (shocks wouldn't necessarily be cost effective since they're only replacing one). And then wheels and tires if possible. What would you spend some money on to replace? Or is there nothing down there of consequence?

And I'd like to support forum vendors when at all possible of course.

Thanks again for all your help!
