Do I get my coilovers first with federal returns, and get them installed before the wheels/tires, or should I get the wheels and tires first, and get the suspension later?
Suspension before wheels

suspension 100%. The one thing I hate is when people throw wheels on our cars w/ out a suspension and looks like a 4wheeler.

I've never been happier than this morning to have the x factor in my new car! My old Stand would have been just stupid during the commute. Now if only the snow would be gone next week and warmer temps would return now.

When I first read this I thought to myself, "when did I get into someone else's G?" lol. But yeah AWD is pretty nice (mine still makes me mad sometimes cause my tires suck) but I'm really excited to destroy next winter with a good set of snow tires.

You should get a battery tender. Worked wonders on mine when I had it in storage.

I guess your battery is shot Lance. I suppose with draining it a little over 2 or 3 months killed it off. But if I were you, check the water levels (if you can) first. Fill it if its dry or low and jump and let it run for 20 to 30 mins while holding the rpm's at about 3k a few times for about a min each. It should then be fully charged. Wait a few days or a week and see its dead again. Or just go out and buy a better fluid tester for 5 bucks.

Also Lance, you really need to put something in your gas, this week. Sea foam is my recommendation. Otherwise your gas could start to break down.

I actually had planned to get a dry battery anyways this summer. Just will be getting it sooner then expected. I'm going to order an optima red top for my impala, and a yellowtop for my G.

As for the sea foam...actually already put it in yesterday :-) Thanks for looking out though bro, much appreciated!

Yeah I was thinking last night and I'm prolly gonna hold off on the susp/wheels idea. I've got other things I wanna do, like take a vacation before I ship out, so I think I will put the $$$ towards that.
