I have been looking into an air suspension, but there are still a few things I am unsure on. First of all, anyone with experience, how is the ride? Is it better or worse than like a performance spring/shock combo? And does anyone know where to get a fairly inexpensive setup? The cheapest I have found is still $2500. I appreciate any input. Thanks.

from my experience...

my friend has had air for 6 or 7 months now... he hates it he is selling it(sold). he has put an additional 1000 into his kit because they give you cheap valves, a weak compressor, thin lines and bad connectors. i hated the ride, my ground control coilover/kyb adjustable setup feels 101001010101000000x better IMO. he always breaks a hose or somehting and cant drive his car, of a valve is leaking and he needs a new $90 valve. or blows a connector and cant get the car up.

I was kind of afraid of that. Lots of places for things to go wrong in that set up. I was afraid the complexity would allow for too many problems. How easy is it to adjust your coilovers? See, I want to slam the sol, but the roads are kinda bad around here, so I want to be able to raise it easily when I know I need to go to the bad parts of town.
