It's mostly the M3 anti roll bars (aka sway bars) that are responsible for the loss of traction as they stiffen up the link between the two wheels - so if in a corner you load one side, your open diff will send the power to the inner wheel as there is less resistance, and it will spin much more easily. I would therefore always recommend to do sway bars, bushings and diff at the same time, as for all of these you'll have to drop the subframe.

All elements besides the three just mentioned by me are more or less plug&play and very easy to install. If I were you I would first replace all the other elements and then, in a second step, do bushings+sway bars+diff.
