Handling Improvement with Coil Conversion?

[Dominus]

Does the coil conversion really make our cars handle that much better? Is there any way to say just how much better if so?

Trying to decide if I want to go ahead and redo the air springs, or do the coil conversion.

Here's my conversion experience:

There is no noise any more (that I can notice). The handling is slightly better, but just slightly IMO. But remember that you're still adding about 30 lbs to your ride. I clear the "air ride not on" (or whatever it says) message every time I start the car because I haven't fixed that part yet. All in all I stick by my original conclusion. If money isn't a barrier, keep the air. It's way cooler. If you're just wanting to improve the handling, it will be a minimal gain.

the air suspension would give you better handiling, if you want even better handling get better sway bars, go to scp

Just wanted to know if there was any clear advantage. I'll stick to upgrading the rest of the suspension.

It's my opinion that my car rides and handles much better than the air ride ever did. you will have to decide for yourself which is better.
