Air Ride Suspention...YAY or NAY?

Let's hear some opinions about what's best for my ride...
Here's the low down...
1) I don't race...so high-end performance suspension is NOT something I need to invest in.
2) I love my car to be LOW when I roll through town...but the air ride would provide me with...shall I say..."speed bump insurance"?
3) I've heard that air ride is alot better than hydraulics simply because if your hydras break...you have fluid EVERYWHERE...if air ride breaks...you have...air...everywhere -_-
Any other questions, comments, raves, rants, suggestions or complaints you have about my lingering ponder for upgrading from my Koni coilovers to some sort of air ride set-up...please...enlighten me.

I had air ride on my DA. Recomend it if ur not racin. Not problem proof, DONT BUY USED if you can help it. If you must then by new fittings and lines. No good when reused. Good Luck

I say nay. If you are not racing then just get a good spring/shock combo and be done with it.

What he said..
And plus, a decent coilover set up can only start at around $400. I say that's not bad if you just want to roll around town in your slammed ride.

Thanks so far you guys for your opinions...I already have a decent set of springies I'm happy with. mY Koni coilovers are more than enough for now. But I still wonder what it would be like...to be able to lift and lower my car at will...people would be like...

Haha i see what you did thar...
Obviously air ride isn't too popular round these here parts. But whatever I always thought it would be pretty cool to be able to remotely lift and lower your ride at will. Though there appears to more downs than ups. Maybe I'll just stick with my coilovers for now.

Man it is your car and if you want bags go for it. I have seen a couple around me and I have actually instaleed two sets but I personally wouldnt do it but my blazer on the other hand... I am also about performance and not show. you will have fun with it and it is nice to not have to jack the car up to change the height.

...exactly, if u want em then do it. personally ive noticed i get the
look after i tear up peoples brand new car rather than if i could be able to drop my car at will... and in my opinion that stuff is meant for lowriders or classic cars not civics. just my 2 cents

Maybe on a tractor tailor it woudl be good to have, or on a show car, but really with some upgrades to the stock suspension your car has the potential to handle quite well.

Stay with coilovers dude, dont like air ride, even though it comfortable it's not as rigid in the corners.
