that is alot more than you need

if you wnat to drop it alot you will need a cc kit and the springs along with an alignment

wich will not even come close to a 1000 dollars

all you "need" is springs, but there are abunch of other recommendedthings that will improve handling and help with alignmentthat you could add.I Know a guy that is running a complete UPRsuspension setup on his turboed fox and he loves it, havent checked price though.

$6,000 would buy you a hell of a nice suspension set up. But all that is really needed is springs, shocks, struts, caster/camber plates if lowered 2" or more, and an alignment. Installing a bumpsteer kit and X2 ball joints are something that I'm going to install as well.

holy crap! I have a full drag suspension set up with coilovers on all 4 corners and I didn't even pay that much.

Go cheap make fat friends and have them ride around with you.
