Airbag vs. Coilovers + new struts

Hey guys, im new to the forum. i bought my 1993 v6 gs about 2 years ago when i was 16. done some things to it so far, but im thinking about either going with an air ride system or just getting new coilovers and new struts. What would you guys recomend?

If i go with coilovers im going with Ground Control coilovers with Tokico gas struts. Also, if i am going to go this route, should i buy new strut mounts as well? and if you get coilovers, does that replace the need for springs or do u need to get coilovers and springs?

Or should i just go all out and bag it? I dont know a heck of alot when it comes to the specifics of modifying cars. if someone could just give me the jist of what airbagging the ride actually does and the major pros and cons about it that would be great.

Thanks for your time in advance.

it depends what kind of set up your going for. air bags give a very comfortable ride, and have the cool factor of raising it and lowering it to any height you desire instantly. however im told they're handling capabilities arnt the greatest when compared to coilovers. so basically is a choice of comfort VS handling.
