Default Suspension set up

Ive been reading about people who made a coilover/airbag set up to have adjustable suspension. I think the idea of it sounds awesome so I could have the stance I want, but to also be able to raise it instantly in sertain situations. Does anybody have any experience doing this on an sc? Im really concerned with how the handling will be performance wise with the bags replacing the springs

I watched a video of this beaitiful red slammed sc on youtube its called dans sc or somthing. This guy had a coilover setup with uas bags or somthing. I apologize for my ameturness on the sibject, any info would be greatly appreciated thanks!

uas bags replace your springs with the bag thus making a coil/bag setup. not much else to it. buy everything for air suspension than buy the bags and connect everything like a normal bagged setup. i've read it takes awhile to get the height perfect to your needs... i've looked into this before i bought coilovers but i liked the idea of static better plus coilovers are cheaper hah

static is kinda like sayin coilovers are set to a set height unlike bags which can be adjusted whenever. you dont see to many people on coilovers changing their ride height so it remains static......
