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

Air suspension FTW! Try doing research on Air-Runner or UAS...GL

How about you dont have to decide between either. Go with both :P

Airbags mated to coils for the ultimate win

It really comes down to ride &/or park height. Do you want to drive around slammed? Or do you want to just sit it down while parked?
If height doesn't matter to you at all and only comfort is a priority then air is your answer.

I don't really like the ride of my air suspension, I think coil overs with the more linear compression of springs would suit this car better.

I love my Megan coilovers ride quality. Even when they're cranked pretty far down.

that's because you're on factory air. ride degrades with age, and how low you ride with it.

just converted mines from air ride to coils definitely not the same still smooth but not as smooth and the cornering aint any better

Weird, My cornering aint comparable to what it was before using the Megans But I'd rather be back on some kind of air suspension. Comfort suits me better

Like I said....bags mated to coils...the best of BOTH worlds (not a pun related to trannies)

i was thinking of picking up some megans and uas bags. a friend told me that would satify me plenty

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

I also have some old school non-adjustable JIC coilovers and the ride isn't too harsh. Took me awhile to get used to it but it definitely feels alot better than stock. My car isn't super slammed but it seems as though the lower and lower i go the more comfortable the ride is!

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.
