I think the koni kit is cheaper.
The bat kit costs $595 plus the cost of shipping a heavy box
The Koni kit costs $630
Let's say shipping is $20 for the bat kit. We are talking about a $15 difference for adjustable struts with a lifetime warranty.

I have a feeling you'll be calling Daryl(Who is Daryl?) back soon, asking for some new struts!

Replace the foundation.
Get new, stock struts, and replace your front lower control arms (which will include new bushings and lower ball joints).
Get poly bushings for your swaybars.
If you want to spend a bit more, get SVT struts and springs.
