Welcome aboard!
And band aids, duct tape and .....
I start from the ground up. If the tires are super bad, there first along with the brakes. If you have a change in gear ratio as part of the plan or simply the rear ending shot out and total garbage, do it all at once. It’s just easier than jacking the car up multiple times and taking the crap apart again and again.
Then go to the front. Same deal. (IMO) Replace everything all at once. Tires, suspension parts and bushings & shocks. (Or what is needed.)
At least you know now that everything is good to go and stop the car and have it handling well. Move to the drivetrain from there.
Use top of the line parts. Make sure there top of the line and not what you think is. I like the site supported P.S.T. for parts. I’ve used them long before I found this site many years ago.
