well I had stock suspension and changed to BAT last year..so far I love it! with the proper tires and what not, I now take corners really really well! its the best bang for the buck IMHO
Koni kit was the best bang for the buck when the intro price was cheaper than the bat kit. I would still pay the extra money for a lifetime warranty and adjustable struts.
Here is a pic form when I first installed the kit.

um u can get it either way? Koni struts and springs combo. www.ajusa.com has the set 742 shipped. Now bat is $600 add shipping, and vila almost identical in pricing!! maybe 100 dollars more the max. But i have bat struts with eibachs. Don't have pics up but i love the way my car handles, i wish i bought konis though 
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

This is really, all that needs to be said. $742shipped, compared to $600 + shipping is not that big a difference. Koni's on full soft will be comparable to the BAT kit, and then you can crank them down for some seriously tight maneuvering. Koni kit hands down.

Once fully settled, is the koni kit much lower or are they comparable ? From all the pictures I saw on the CEG I have a hard time telling a difference. I am in the same position as the original poster, trying to pick the best kit for my daily driver. Ride height is important to me, I guess I could live with about 1" to 1" 1/2 lower than stock but nothing more. What is the real height difference of both kits once settled ? 1/2" or more (bat vs koni)?
