Coilovers and lower ball joints
I'm thinking about getting coilovers soon but I also want to replace my lower ***** joints and control arms...
Would it be easier to just wait and get it all done at once (possibly cheaper installation?) or are they not even related/connected to each other?

If there is any reason to do both at the same time, it's because you want to do the alignment once rather than twice.
Unless your ball joints are on the verge of snapping, you can hold off on it until you get the coils in. If you're bringing your car to a shop, having the two done together could be a leverage towards getting a small discount

Yea, I just did this... Shave or roll the fenders, slap on the coils, slap on the lower ball joints, adjust height and damp levels.. then align... You'll probably get a butt load of toe which pulls your car to all sorts of directions.. good luck! In other words.. get the suspension all done at once
