Bags = more of a drop, more for show cars, much more expensive

Coilovers = Better for DD's, cheaper, more options

yes I know this is probably asked thousand times a day.
Then why ask?

The best would be combining coilovers and air bags. You'll get the adjust-ability of air and be able to ride at the perfect height and get improved handling like coilovers.

Both setups are perfectly fine for daily driving. Air is more complicated to get perfect for daily driving, but it isn't that hard if you take your time to search for leaks. The post above covered the basic pros and cons. The only thing I have to add is that the biggest con about air suspension is increased tire wear and the price tag.

My car is currently on air. I'm trying to sell it just to free up some cash for new parts, but every time I walk out to my garage and see my car laying on the ground I'm not that mad that no one was bought it yet.

I'd also like to mention that the SC is a really easy car to add air suspension to. There aren't any major complications that would require fabrication work compared to other cars.
