I put my springs on first to get the settling out of the way. That...and I had to wait 3 months for the slowest boat from Japan to row their way over to deliver my Works!

If your going to pay someone... probably by seeing how much money you have and so on... just wait and install it all at once.

Keep it simple.

SHYYYYYYTT, Trust me, I have definitely taken the more economical route this time! I am having a shop throw the coils on, they are going to balance the car.

Install the coils. Let the suspension settle a bit then when you get the wheels and do an alignment the alignment wont go to waste as the suspension settles
