Default Air bag noob question

Wadup? Maybe someone here can answer some my questions. I'm new to the whole Air bag thing and its something I look forward to do to my ride in the near future. I over heard someone talking about how you can have Air bags and coilovers all in one set up scheme. So is there a Air bag system out there that is universal to most if not all coilovers? I heard its a cheaper route to have airbag on coilovers too. What are the pros and cons between the both? Which setup is more reliable? Is the range of suspension the same? Thanks in advance for your inputs!

Here are a few quick links to get you started. Most people will get coilovers that work with a universal kit like the one below, but you can also buy a full kit that includes everything, including the coilover portions. If you'd like to talk to a vendor I believe a few of them sell the K-Sport air ride suspension systems (besides others).

AIRREX has a bolt on kit. Club Lexus vendor RAVSPEC sells AIRREX.

The reason I would go with the AIRREX bolt on kit is that it is made and valved for air bags. You will get a better over all ride and product. IF your a DIY the other route is good but its way more work.

IF you buy the coil overs than buy the bags.. it would have costed almost the same price to buy the AIRREX set up.

I deal with most brands air bags. my best customers for UAS bags is IS and GS owners.
