Default Suspension Question

I just ordered a steeda panhard bar. I am also about to swap out my steeda springs for a set of tokico springs with tokico struts. I also have a set of steeda control arms ready to go in. I have two questions really. Which one should I do first and why? (pinion angle issues... so on and so on...) and the second question is will I have problems with my spydershaft rubbing and such?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

cant tell you what order to do the work in.... but do u have relocation brackets?

they will go a long way in getting your pinon set correctly and getting the car to hook

is it correct that you only have to worry about adjustable control arms and pinion angles if you are lowering your car? just the spydershaft and LCAs and panhard bar don't need adjustment?

I know that with the spydershaft Charity Leonard responded to my e-mail a while back and said that you shouldn't need to adjust the pinion angle unless lowered and that problems with vibration otherwise account for about 5% of installs - and it's usually an install issue.
