Default UCF10 air suspension

Hey everyone, i just picked up a 1990 LS400 with the oem air suspension, and i had a few questions. (i searched first but couldn't find anything)

first of all, is the air suspension worth keeping? i was planning on running the datasystem ARC, but haven't heard of anybody using one on a UCF10. Can the ucf10's air suspension handle being really low all the time? would it be more prudent to just buy coilovers and get rid of the air suspension? I come from the world of 240sx's, and if any of you haven't seen our cars before, our cars are usually on the ground all the time with coilovers. i want my LS to be like my S13, but i don't want to run the risk of the stock bags exploding or anything like that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys!

A-Search, all these questions have been answered before.

B-since its christmas, il give u the gist of it. If the A/S is in good condition w/o leaks then its worth keeping. the datasystem ARC is known to work well with the LS430 but few guys keep the stock A/S on the UCF10/11 so idk about firsthand experience. in my copy of HyperRev, it shows the UCF10/11 going pretty damn low on what i THINK is factory air.
