SFCs and STBs

Ok, heres the thing. When I bought my car the previous owner had hit a tree with it. All the body was fixed up and repainted tho the front passanger fender sticks out about an inch or more than the door. I've took it to a mechanic he said the car has had damage to the frame. Eventually in the future I'm gonna want to put on SFC, STB, and other suspension things. So should I just go have it aligned and put them on? Or should I wait till I get the front frame fixed first?

get the frame straight first. Make sure that frame is within 4mm of stock. Then put the subframe connectors on. It will be a bitch to straighten it afterword.
