Ok, my front struts are starting to creek and groan and I was wondering if I should go get some springs and struts from Bill Jenkins or go get aftermarket suspension. I am looking for the cheapest way to do this, the BAT kit or is there anything cheaper/better then the BAT kit? My max of lowering will be 1.5 inches. Thanks in advance.

OK. Look. My regular old Roush springs were $120, on clearance.
IIRC, a GC coilover kit is still around $400, and that's springs and collars, only.
$120 for a set of coilover springs (assuming they are decent quality) is a phenomenal price.
So, without looking at the Summit catalog, I'm nevertheless pretty sure this coilover kit does not come with struts.

yes no struts.. but a very cheap avenue if anyone is interested in coilovers that are made by Ping Wing Wang and bought from stupid E-bay
