It is usually less expensive to install coilovers than to rework a botched install with subpar parts so that is what happens.
90% of the problems can be solved with a well thought out and executed installation along with an educated user that understands what is happening. You can skip the education if you spend the money for a very good control system that measures ride height and bag pressure so that all you have to worry about is pushing a button.

Thanks for the info; I think by nature I'm exempt from most of those. I guess one can never completely be clear of something penetrating the bladder while driving down the road.
I've heard that air ride systems are more "bouncy" going down the road compared to a standard spring/shock setup. Is this generally true with an advanced air bag system?
