The Bat kit you are talking about is springs and struts for 549.00 and are they better than koni? Does the struts have adjustments for racing if so definitely ready to buy.

i have the bat kit on my 99 se sport. can't say how it compares to the koni's or anything, but i'm real happy with it. the ride is firm but not harsh, and like has been said, not a lot of dive under accel or braking. i say go for it to anyone interested.

I am trying to decide on BAT vs Koni+H&R. If this group happens I would probably go with the BAT kit. Feb or March would be good for me.
take a ride, take a shot now
