airbags, but depends how you use your car.
airbags are more for show use i guess and coils for handling

mine handles pretty good but my system isnt cheap got shock absorbers infront built into strut and electronic valves now also will be running in a few weeks bigger tank and 2 compressors with a 200+psi switch!! but have been told to stay away from import kits exp from usa universal ones! loads of ppl have had problems with them!
ALSO useing a lcd screen as remote there will be a delay when you press down will take a a few seconds to pic up command! better off getting a normal switch box! will get a picture of mine later for you!

And how is that 
Bags would be good but then agean you really dont need the use of them do you? so coils would be better and probley 10x cheaper than bags

you sir are an idiot. anyone actually remember the original description of a chav being a scabby looking cheap ass pikey who wears sports gear without being involved in any sport, wearing fake gold and havin no grasp of proper grammer?? gettin sick of all these tits who refer to anything they don't like as bein "chav". that makes you a narrow minded tosser in my opinion.
p.s. get the bags icy, the handling is fine.
