I've got the same springs and struts, and tie bar, but not the swaybars. I
have to agree with Kevin, this setup really works well. If you can't do it
all at once, I'd say go with the upper tie bar first to increase the
rigidity of the front end. It seemed to make the turnin a little better all
by itself, and is something I'd do either before or at the same time as
doing any other suspension enhancement. BTW, I got my springs and struts
through Potterman(as did Kevin I think), and he can get you a good deal on
all this stuff.
