Air bags seem to be way cheeper and more easily adjustible. High dollar shocks would be needed still to be comprable in the dampening department. Coilovers take alot less fab work, but more time to tune from what I hear if you dont get it just right. I run low buck coilovers from autozone and torsions, so i really don't know 100% first hand. But I have been asking around for the same reason.

Nitro sounds about right! I love coil-overs, but wouldnt be afraid of air bags if you can handle some fab work. Out of the several coil-over set ups i've had, got the spring rate right first time, and never had to play with the valving (other than fine tuning the race buggy).
