Default Steps to setup my car

Hi! I'm almost done with the building of my first car. Its a Tamiya TA06pro.

Thinking ahead. I'm wondering which is the first thing to set? Droop? Ride height? Steering?

I came out with a list of steps for setting up. Please correct me if I'm wrong. (Steps are in sequence)

1) Droop

2) Steering - With the servo arm 90degree, adjust the steering turn buckle so that the car is going straight (not using trim).

3)Toe

4) Camber

5) Ride height - I intend to do it last as I think camber adjustment will affect ride height.
