Air suspension or Coilovers? Ls UCF 10
sup everyone. i know this question has been asked before but i thought i would give it a try too. well my 94 suspension is getting pretty bad and im going to have to decide on replacing them soon. i love the handling and the smoothness of the ride so that is what i want to keep if i switch over. my question is this. if i got coilovers would it change the smoothness of the ride and also would it cost more than getting air suspension. also with air suspension i dont really know the brands and im not sure which brands are good. ANY HELP WOULD BE REALLY appreciatiated
i just dont know which one to pick

If you're used to factory air suspension, and like the comfort, you will dislike coilovers since they are a lot harsher. Never drove a LS with factory coils, so I don't know how coilovers compare to that

i have JIC Magic coils and the ride is stiff but handles amazing. i am planning on going to AirRunner or KSport because the handling isnt my main concern (its not a race car) and i'd like to drop it to the ground when parked

One thing to also take into consideration is the wheel setup that the OP is going to running. Airbags/coilovers won't feel like very comfortable with stretched tires and low profile sidewalls.
