Default should I install now or wait?

I currently have the group-N strut tops sitting in my living room, and I'm still saving to get some springs and sways.

should I install the strut tops right now or wait until I buy some springs, etc.?

also, if I did install only the Group-N's, will I even notice any difference from stock? right now I have no suspension mods, just stock

If you're having someone else do the install, I would wait. If you're doing it yourself, its your call. The group n's will make a difference.

Also, save yourself an alignment.

+1. If you're trying to save up for springs and struts then an extra alignment is going to take away from that.
