thats good but since you're getting some struts you should do it the same time since to put the springs on it will be the same price as putting struts on you gonna have to pay double if you do one at a time

You have to remove the entire strut assembly to do the springs. If you came to the shop I work in you would end up paying for the job twice, not to mention 2 alignments. Just wait until you can do them both at once.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.
