Default shocks or springs?

Would it be a better idea to get new shocks first then some springs, or vice versa?

Rear shocks would be my first move. No big deal there. Only takes about 20 minutes to change them. If you are going change springs then I would do the front shocks at the same time. You have to have them apart anyway and my thinking is why do it twice. Also, regardless of what others on this site may say, you really do need to align the front end after you take the front strut off. You may get it back on close to right but the alignment will not be 100% correct.

So would you say I should just wait and do shocks and springs at the same time?
