i like my JIC MAGIC coilover for the handling, comfort, relialbility, adjustable height.
air bag= fun, pimp, comfort, and its a statics thing. but not as reliable compare to struts, springs.

I use one, i have the original bags from the factory in my car, 1989 ucf11 so the bags are almost 20 years old and had no problems. I only drop it fully when parked and level 5 when driving. There should be an option to let all the air out of the system ,Super Low Mode, if you want the car to look even better. Check your wheel clearance before trying this though as the guards will swallow your wheels. It takes a bit longer to get back to ride height though, from Super Low Mode, and the front right will get stuck. So you have to actually put the car back to normal height then drop back down to driving level. I'm very happy with it though considering they are factory airbags. Just keep a spare set of bags handy to change in when they do fail, cause they will. I'm not sure how easy they are to obtain where you live, but here in Australia they are fairly cheap. You can get a full set from the wreckers for the price of one brand new strut. Yeah as said before pros, looks good, cons will require work when they fail.

normally the factory bags with RHC will work fine if you only drop it when you're parked, the major problems (aside from dying due to age) tend to occur when you drive at less than stock ride height
