Question: Should Spring/Shock Install Be Done Same Time As BumpSteer/Bar/Bushings?
Should Do Spring/Shock/BumpSteer/RrBar/Bushings Same Time As TRE 1.5-way Rr Diff?
Would it be a waste of Install time/money to do the Springs and Shocks separately from the Bump Steer Kit, The Trailing Arm Bushings and The Sway Bar?
I was thinking that it would be nice to do them in stages to see the difference each one made to the handling but I doubt that would cost effective. I'm guessing both jobs require similar disassembly making it smarter/quicker/cheaper to do the whole shebang at once.
Am I correct?
TIA for clearing this up for me.

While you arent necessarily removing the same parts over and over again, what you need to consider is that the car will need to be realigned after each change to the suspension pieces aside from the rear sway bar. I understand your desire to feel the changes that each part makes however economically it does not make sense.
Not sure if it'll be cheaper to handle it all at once, depending on the shop and how they would charge you for labor, but it would be nice to knock them all out at once and not have to keep going back. BTW, I assume you're talking about the front sway bar? From what I've heard, the rear sway bar is a walk in the park compared to the rear
No, the rear bar.
I forgot all about the damn alignment. Great info. Sorry to ask such a basic question, I did search but didn't find.
I guess I'll be getting this all done at the same time.
Thanks a lot!

Another question...
I'm also going to get the TRE 1.5-way rear diff at some point.
I believe this won't have any effect on alignment but what about common disassembly points? Will the rear sway adjustment likely change?
Can one of you experts please tell me whether you'd recommend doing that at the same time or whether it makes little difference (my guess)?
TIA
