I have had the ridetech air suspension on my car and now have their coil overs. I drove the air stuff for about 3 years and I liked it a lot. I am in the finishing stages of major changes to my car and the conversion to the coil suspension was one of them (easy especially since I already had the front and rear brackets in place). I just wanted to simplify things overall.

In my opinion there might be 3 things that sway people towards the coil over system- price, simpler components and space.

Price- comparing a level 2 system, a complete coil system is $4100 and the similar air system is $6250 (ridetech website prices).

Simpler components- the air system has more moving parts including the air lines, the sensor wiring, air compressors and the air tank. The coil over system just has the coil and spring.

Space- having a first gen camaro, trunk space is tight to begin with. If you have ever done a long trip like a power tour (I have done 3), you find out that when you starting putting things in it, it fills up pretty quick. I had the air system with 2 compressors and a 5 gallon tank. I could have gotten by with the smaller tank but I got a good deal on the one I had. i had it configured similar to the air pod and it took up a good portion of the forward space of the trunk. The coil system doesn't take and trunk space.

The air system drove great! I don't have any feedback on the coil over other than a couple of drives around the block. I am a big fan of Ridetech and their products and they put out an excellent product. Either way, I don't think you will go wrong.
