you'll need geometry doing after fitting the coilovers and after fitting the antilift kit, not sure about the roll centre kit. Fitting the arb's after does not affect the geometry so it wouldn't make any difference when you fit these. IMHO you would want to avoid paying for the geo being done twice, so if possible get the anti lift and coilovers fitted at the same time.

I'll wade in and agree with Azz.
I fitted ALK, plus arb's and drop-links, had the front reset, then a year later fitted coil-overs and did the geometry in full.

Hi Carl !
I did the full Whiteline bit first and the car was transformed.
I have recently stuck some Teins on mine and they are VERY stiffly damped, on bumpy B-roads it's a touch too lively for an oldie like me, I was nearly at the point of selling them, but will keep playing with the ride height and damping for a while longer. BC's are reckoned to be a bit more supple tho'.

i fitted my bc coilovers myself, got powerstation to set the geometry, think it was £90.
i have no other suspension mods, and it has made an unbelieveable difference, going to go down the whiteline road one day, need some pennies first
