suspension performance

i currently have my stock suspension and i like it a lot (the smooth ride) but when i get my body or before i am gonna have to get an air ride(bag) system in order to clear my drive way. Will it mess up the suspension or the way it rides? I've always wondered how coilovers work. Can anyone explain?

ok sorry about that. How will a air ride(bag) susoension sytem affect my ride? will it make it stiffer or what? Oh and also how do adjustable coilovers work? do you turn a **** to adjust the height or what? hope thats clearer.

Ok ,

From what I've read and heard, air bag suspensions are not as comfy as your stock setup. A couple people on the board (thebigsadler, and max8mycash) have them. Ask them.

As for as Coilovers (CO), there are different kinds. Cheap COs are just go on any type of shocks that you want. For example, you can put Ground Control COs on your OEM shocks. Not smart, but people do it. Expensive COs come with heavy duty shocks and come with adjustable springs, shocks, and camber plates.

There is no setup that is going to be more comfy (i'm assuming you mean soft) than stock.
