This + this are simply NOT compatable

If you want your car to perform, you are gonna have to spend some money.

Your right, don't mean to come off like a dick

I think the OP should start with ONE of the two items and do it right. For the budget, one could get some nice LCA's/UCA's with some change left in pocket. THEN go after good tires suited for the track when budget allows.

I wish

1000 will get you suspension pretty much if you go almost all out.

I got,

H&R SS springs
Steeda Bump steer
Steeda X2 Ball joints
Tokico Shocks and struts
MM Caster Camber plates.

Now all of that added up to 1200. i Haven't even bought my tires yet. you really cant just do springs and be done with it. you gotta get the other stuff too, to prevent stuff from breaking. people scared me ****less of what would happen if i didnt get bump steer and X2 balljoints with a lowered stang more then 1.5 inches.

I didnt read all of the other posts so i dont really know if you are a strip guy or a handling guy but in the end. 1000 for tires and suspension isn't going to happen. Im still having trouble biting the bullet for the tires to complete my setup.

+10012223980 best advice yet, no offense guys.

A P.I. swap should at the very top of your list. F*ck suspension for now, get some lowering springs to tie you off for a little while.
