DO NOT do springs and shocks first!!! its what i did and i regret it BIG TIME.

I wish i had done them last because as i started to get more and more involved in messing with the suspension, my springs and shocks did not fit well with the suspension path i ended up taking.

Do all the Braces/bushings first. Then sway bars/control arms/lateral links/etc...
THen do springs and shocks/coilovers. Once you have done all the other stuff and got comfortable with your suspensions you will have a better idea as to how stiff u are going to want your springs and shocks to be. Not to mention all other mods are going to be that much harder with your car being lower, assuming you work on your car oin jackstands like i do. if u got a lift that doesnt matter then

I for example got eibach pro-kit springs with kyb gr-2 shocks. i only wanted a mild upgrade, with nice lookks to boot. It felt like stock but looked cooler and i was happy. Now that i have upgraded all my other suspensions bushings/braces/sways/control arms i now realize i basically have a stock quality spring/strut combo. Its WAY too soft, and i wish i had gone with a stiffer LINEAR spring, with an adjustable strut. Now im stuck with a lower version of stock suspension till these struts fail. Im not touching it anymore unless something breaks. im done with it 4 a while
