Air suspension. Adjustable right height in cabin. You won't need that.

I would say go for coilovers. Do it correctly the first time.

I second that, get coils and b done with it, springs are good, but they dont cut it for looks nor performanse, do it righ the first time.

coilovers, if adjustability is an absolute must-have.

(but every knows that most coilover owners have the "set-it-and-forget-it" attitude...)
