the neuspeed...

just DIY.. it's not that hard and you get to work on your car. that's the whole fun in this hobby.

Definately do it all at once. there's no point in ripping your suspension apart multiple times and paying for multiple alignments. it just don't make sense.

do it all at once its much easier. when i did mine i had my brakes and exhaust done the first time. i even changed my rims that same day. just b4 my car was finished i came in with the new rims w/ tires and they mounted them on the car

ok so take the packages that are listed above.
Would you choose one of those over say
Springs(Ground Controls, Skunk2 coilovers, etc) & Shocks(knoi yellows, KYB AGX).

cause the price of them would egual to the setup I am about to purcahase. Skunk2 coils and KYB AGX.

Personally, I wouldn't buy coilovers cause progressive springs give you a much better ride in most cases. I like both of the packages you have links to. When you have struts with adjustable perches, what advantage does coilovers give you?

If it is for a daily driver and aren't going to be adjusting ride height on a regular basis, I think you will be much happier with progressive springs. Yes, I think one of the above packages would be better. With the multi-perch shocks, you should be able to get your ride height right where you want it.

I have prokit springs with AGX struts and my ride quality is almost as good as stock. The drop is modest but the handling is "night and day" diferent from stock.
