Right order of actions.

Hey everybody,
I plan on getting some subframe connectors; Spohn outers and Alston inners. I also need to redo the rear suspension as she's sagging quite a bit. Does the order these are done matter? I'd hate to weld in the sfcs and have them "lock in" my saggy rear.
As for the saggy rear end, I was thinking about the Moog 5665 springs. I've read on here that they raise about an inch above the stock height. Does anybody have a pic of how high they really are? I don't want anything crazy, I'm just looking for a slight rake.

Re: Right order of actions.

I would get the sag out of her first. Get her as level as possible and remember the weight of the car needs to be on the tires and suspension before welding or bolting in the S.F.C.
