Install order??

Im going to be installing new struts and springs ect, plus an up pipe down pipe and exhaust and defi gauges. My question is should I do the suspension first or the engine mods. How should I go about lifting the car to work on it, ramps jack stands? thanks for any help.

I guess no one has done both installs at the same time? I was thinking with the suspension first, but i was here to see if someone had any input on the subject. thanks

Not sure if it makes a difference, but try removing the shocks and struts before installing the up/down pipes to maybe give you more room under the car. I don't think anyone's commented becase it shouldn't really matter which one you do first.

i agree with superglue in that it may help a little bit to take the struts off the car before you do your exhaust work. after that, just give all your instructions a once-over to see if any of your parts-to-be-installed are in the same vicinity and which would make sense to do first.

in the end though i don't believe it'll make that much of a difference if you do one set of parts over another.
