Why you should buy coilovers:
1. If all else fails, steel coils are reliable.
2.High pressure seals are not. (for emphasis)
3. Coilovers can have 1,2, or even 3 spring rates.
4. Coilovers are adjusted via conventional tools. (you wont need a nitrogen bottle, syringe, etc...)
5. Coilovers can adjust ride height separately from spring rate.
6. Coilovers are more durable.
7. Coilovers can provide more spring force.
8. Coilovers provide a more effective damping effect. (The internals provide damping force only, only negligable spring force.)
9. Coilovers have an adjustable secondary engagement ring, which means you decide when secondary suspension kicks in.
10. As mentioned above, chicks dig them.
There are many other benefits, Im just all done typing for now.
Thanks for your interest!

Coilovers will also tak a hell of an impact without damage. Airshocks can be damaged by a single flying rock or broken part.
