Here is one: although i don't understand how it would influence your decision.
springs=small drop, air=limitless

Plus the fact that air doesn't limit where you can go because you can always raise the car back up to go over obstacles where springs it's just dropped.

Airbags are a LOT more expensive. Considering springs are like $150 or even $100 used it's a cheap price for a drop.

if money is no object, than ya go for the air ride, but if not then get the springs at minimum.

but if you look in a performance aspect of lowering air bags are not way to go... If you take the fact of the weight you are adding in parts just to run air ride its not smart

coil-overs is the way go for ajustablity and biggest drop..

Then struts and springs (not just springs since the ride will be horrible). Then Air-ride

yes, but you can put on springs if you don't have the money for the struts yet. but then you gotta figure the time and money also for double the workload. but ya if you wanted better performance the go with the springs and struts

yes that is true but if you buy springs then install them you have to get an alignment then install the sturts you have to get another alignment. Also your stock strut life is shorten so the risk of a blown strut and more damage to other suspension parts can be caused. So you pay more money or just wait and save to buy together.

Not neccessarily. There are springs that don't give that much of a drop and can be safe.

By the way everytime you drop and adjust your coilovers you're supposed to get an alignment
