Install wheels or coilover first?
If I were to install new 19" wheels to replace stock 18" wheels and a coilover set to replace the stock sport suspension and lower ride height, which should I have installed first? I'm kind of a newb when it comes to these things, but from what I understand when you install new wheels and tires, you need to road force balance them, and I assume the suspension will affect this test. And when you install new coilovers, you need to get an alignment, and I assume the wheels will affect this test. So which one should be installed first to make sure that everything is set up properly?

The order is somewhat irrelevant as you must have your wheels/tires road forced balanced and if you switch out your suspension you must get an alignment. Road force balancing has nothing to do with your suspension as it's for the wheels/tires only. Feel free to shoot me over a PM if you have any questions at all.
