Default Alignments after mods ?

Ok here is what I am doing but not all at once and these are in my order of priority so if you think my prioritees need to be rearranged by all means let me know.
1) supra front LCA's my bushings are bad I am sure and I believe my ball joints too )
2) daizen sway bar bushings
3) vlamos steering rack bushings
4) struts & springs ( Tokico Illumina Supra TT setup )
Hopefully this will fix all my suspension issues up front.
I am doing these as I can afford them and have prioritized them in order of importance ( I think )
My question is this, I know after I do anything like this I need to get an alignment so should I just wait until I aquire all my LCA and bushing parts thenm do them all at once then get aligned or just buy the part and install as they come and get aligned each time. all parts will be self installed.

ALSO
if you look at my car from the back it is sagging on the left, and therefore I am eating the inside of my right front tire back not as bad. what is this due too ?? will replaceing the bushings on the upper rear control arms fix this and should I
add that to the list.


I know this is a lot of questions at once but please help me out

If I were in your position, I'd have all that stuff installed at once to save on labor. If you must do it piece by piece, I'd suggest an alignment after every mod if you plan on driving a lot.

labor really isn't a big deal as I am doing it all myself. I am starting a business so I have air and tools and a lift. And have always don emy own installs and auto work, just the order of significance. And I will however have to pay for the alignments.
