Expensive, heavy, and not well suited to going fast. The problem with airbags is you can't control the height and rate independently. If the car is very low, you want it to have a stiff spring rate to keep it off of the bump stops. If you have the car high, you could use a softer spring rate to make the ride softer.
The issue is spring bags are the opposite: when you raise it, the spring rate goes UP, and when you lower it, the spring rate goes DOWN. You can't alter them separately.
If you just want it for the super low stance, then it can work. If you want to actually improve the way the car handles, steel springs are the way to go.
