    I only did the rears myself (didn't have enough tools for the front) and I started with removing the shocks and then springs. Then fitted the new springs and then the shocks. I didn't do panhard bar but i would say you do it last as the reason u need one is due to the reduced height causing the axle to sometimes sit to one side.

    yeah remove swaybar, shocks then springs. fit new springs, shocks then swaybar. fronts are easy too if your gonna do them, but you do need spring comressors (got mine for $20 from ricerbarn) but be really extra careful with teh support bearings coz they really fragile
