Springs first or sway bars
I'm going to get a set of springs (Eibach Pros or FRPP N Springs)plus a set of sway bars (front and back; Helwig or FRPP).If I install the sway bars first will I have to turn around and partially uninstall them to get the springs in? Just looking to do the least amount of work.

you don't have to uninstall the front sway bar for the front strut removal/installation. The rear sway is not very hard to work with.
i strongly recommend the use of upgraded shocks/struts with springs. it'll make things a whole lot easier - and it'll top off the suspension work you plan on doing.
i went with tokico d-specs, eibach pro-kit springs, and now i plan on ordering a helwig rear sway. i will be upgrading my front sway when i get the helwig... but to be honest the car already feels like a go-kart with i adjust the shocks to full hard!

I believe full suspension would call for a racing style setup:
coilovers,
sways,
bracing,
Adjustable panhard,
Adjustable lower and upper control arms,
Poly bushings,
and most importantly: TIRES.

i upgraded my sways only and the difference is very noticeable. its a lot more fun to take corners now[8D]. i have no current plans for springs/shocks. the sways are enough for me at this point. i will be attacking the driveline again with an alum DS hopefully by end of summer.

A sway bar is a must have.
You should do both but if you do only one, the sway bar is first.
BTW, a sway bar in the back on a solid axle, will improve as much as you going outside and p#ss in the wind.
Save your money for the huge swaybar you'll need at the front.
