Do the shocks simply because you already have the suspension apart and the stock ones will also wear out with lowering springs, so i say do it all at once

definitely, stock shocks do not hold up well on lowered cars.

If you plan on lowering your car you should consider some
Bilstein struts and shocks because they will hold up perfectly
on a lowered car.I would do struts and shocks for sure.

Shocks first for sure. Then you will not have to take everything apart again to put the shocks in when the stockers crap out. After you have it lowered with good struts, you will be amazed at how much different and more fun your car is to drive. Then get the subz. IMHO

Yeah i will be getting the CC plates to make sure that everything is in line. Work has gone pretty well this week so i should be bringing home a nice check so maybe i'll do all of them at once... well see, i'll let you know what happens but it'll be about 2-3 weeks before the stuff goes in.
