wow, never knew that. i'm assuming that some people would rather get coil overs for the performance, and an air ride set up for looks?

Yea. I helped set up the first XB on air a couple years ago. It rode well, but there was no handling gain.

I think air might end up being a few hundred more than coilovers.

The Tein coilovers ride great BTW.

Ride quality, a more extreme drop, and the ability to change ride hight due to road conditions, coilovers are 100% performance, personaly I would not want them on a daily driver, too much hasle, that is why I prefer bags, but I like to go show, with a lil bit of go

The Tein basics have a very good ride. Better than stock in some cars.
