for some handling thats more closer to coilovers, I think that air runners would be a good choice. Or you can use an air bag that goes over a strut. With the air runners, you can still adjust the dampening to give u the firm handling close to coilovers. Nothing of course will be like coilovers, but having the best of both worlds is a good thing!
what stopped me from air runners? the price. retail for air runners in the US is nearly 6000.

I would never go back to coilovers unless i was into drifting.

Does this air setup require you to do suspension alignment everytime you change height, or... how's the deal with that ? Even w/ coilovers, it is better to have alignment everytime you change height, no ?

HOWEVER with the Air Suspension, my car floats like a caddy!!! it had mad roll in it now, but that can be fixed if I get the side to side option. IF you do decide to get air, GET side to side... It will give each cylinder its own air pressure so it will handle a lot better than just getting front to back...
