Airride bags vs. kw variant 3's vs. strano's & konis? Or others? So I'm buttoning up the last bit of the build. I wasn't sure how to make a poll so this will have to suffice. Please see the following options I am entertaining. Please don't bash any option. Please list any and all links, supporting data, opinions and experiences that would support one option vs. the other.
To explain the goal of the car, it is not and will never be a track car. Goal of suspension is incredible handling. Price is not an object (within reason). I like the idea of on the fly adjustable ride height with bags and the wow factor. Coilovers like the kw's seem very well proven as well as the stranos, however I will get adjustable ride height with the coilovers and bags.
1) Airride airbag suspension with accuair controller setup
2) KW Variant 3 coilover setup
3) Sam Strano Springs & Koni shocks

why don't you just call strano?
He sells KW and Koni.
I think the main reason he doesn't recommend KW is that they are way way more money than Koni's and people already say that they are way way to much.

Well, I thought it'd be nice if I got some feedback regarding airbags as well as any feedback comparing the 3. I'd be happy to call Sam, however multiple opinions are always appreciated (while I do value Sam's opinion very highly). He is also out of town at nationals for a few more days and thought in the mean time I could get some input. Anybody use the kw variant 3's or another type of coilover that they swear by? It's hard finding many setups for our cars and in searching through sponsors and the inernet, i've come to these 3 so far.
