Opinions on where to start ....

Plan on throwing on Konis and Springs on the car finally...


for the rears I have rear trailing arm bushings (2003 model trailing arm bushings), throwing on the rear sway bar and lower control arms....


I was wndering what steps I should go in first...

obviously disassembling everything will make things easier at least for the rear trailinng arm bushing.

so i figure ... once everything is of shock/spring assembly, rear bar and lower control arms I can tackle the

rear trailing arm bushing first... then the rear sway bar... then lower control arm? then put the koni and springs on?

Im going to start with doing the rear suspension first since I have so much to do for the rear... then if i finish up successfully ill tackle the fronts which look super straight forward

any advice in what order thanks!
