I thought I remembered seeing similar kits closer to $800 a few years ago, but everything has gone crazy.
You could piecemeal it or find the actual source of the noise. Just because something is old doesn’t mean it’s bad.
You can also find some good deals on rckauto or elsewhere, same stuff . I doubt you need every drop link and damper boots.
Shame we can’t rebuild some of those parts.

Clunky is generally one of two things, strut bearings or drop links. The drop links are easy to check. If the boots are cracked open, replace those. Cheap and easy. Strut bearings require strut removal and dissembling via the top nut. A bit more work.
I’d try tightening them first with a hammer gun.
Oh, could also be sway bar bushings. You could disconnect those and drive slowly and listen if noise goes away. Also cheap and easy to replace.
