i would get the coil overs just cause i'm more of a track type. i really drive my car hard alot and i prefer performance.
i'm not really ready for air ride yet too much of a cruizer feel.
but when i settle down a bit i'll change it up to air ride

Re: Suspension
I would have to agree with some of the comments made, Performance is what I'm looking for, I just feel you loose that with an air ride. Springs are good temporary suspension alternatives but for the ultimate adjustable ride coilovers is the way to go. Cusco are great but just a bit to much 
, i have not heard anything bad with Ksports. and the prices are reasonable...
So Im assuming this is just a poll on the type of suspension and not on the perticular part. because you for got there manufactures if that was the case....and i didn't know TIEN finally released there springs?

air runner all the way! why go coil overs and have to jack up the car to lower it when you can just hit the switch..
People have the wornge idea on air.. maintaince, breaking and what not.. all that not true.
Its all about the install.. going on 2 years on air and the first 2nd gen on air.. not one problem sence day one..
A crapy unprofessional install = a bad experance and people getting the wrong impression about air.
SO Kepa! GO air you know you will have a top notch install

Bags on a show car but as far anything to do with going on a track cusco all the way. Don't get me wrong I like both and am gonna airrunner my daily ride within the next two weeks. But I maybe getting another 2nd gen so that one will be on cuscos cause that will be take to the track and rip sh*t up car (they will not let you step foot on a track if you're bagged).

Depending on what bags you use, you can make it handle just as good as anything else.
You just have to set up the bags ride height to get the optimum spring rate. After that,
it's all in the shocks/struts, and tires. But, it's too bad Slam Specialties doesn't make
strut bags yet. They are by far the best bags out there...period.
My bagged S10 rode and handled awesome. Way better than when it had the stock ZQ8 springs
and lowered with spindles and blocks. It was also very reliable. It's all in the install.
If you do it right...it's 100% reliable. Just get it leak free, and make sure the bags, air lines,
and wires don't rub on anything, and it's just as safe/reliable as any coilover system.

Go with air ride but not Air Runner too much money......... and before anyone can say it. You have to pay to play or you get what you pay for. I already am saying it. If you have the money to spend on it then go ahead but personally I do not have that kind of money so I would go with Easystreets Digitally Controlled kit for $2000 and spend the saved money on some nice wheels.

I prefer coilovers but you can't go wrong with an air ride so long as either choice is set up correctly. And I have a set of Tein S-Tech springs in the back of my xB as we speak. Hopefully I will have them installed on the 7th and get some pics up for comparison.
