Depends on what you want. You want show and low, or do you want some razor-sharp handling with coilovers?

bags would be nice if you want show.
coilovers would be if you dont mind a rough ride.and increase your handling and be adjustable
springs will lower you a lil bit and increase your handling

on this forum, the answer you will most likely get is the coilovers.

Get bags if you don't do any crazy driving like auto-x

Kaneohep5bagged had air bags and a full kit on his car, looked mean.

well further than the ride sucking (i personally prefer a stiff ride) i believe that the air ride is going to make your car heavier as aposed to coilovers making it weigh the same or slightly lighter as with my JIC's

yeah, check out kaneohep5bagged. it looks awesome but from my understanding; he's already replaced 3 bags. i can't recall if he said it or someone else, they said the ride gets junk w/ the bags...it's more for show. i've also heard that you should not turbo the car w/ bags...rather, it's not wise. teins are good for daily driven cars. i found the jics were too harsh for daily driving...they were more for track. good luck w/ your decision. (i'd go w/ the teins)

yo why do the airbags need suspension? i thought they're just bags of air. does the car handle better when the airbags are properly suspended?
