Question Air Suspension or

Right now I'm stuck in a debate whether to spend 3k on air suspension, or complete my amuse kit (painted) w/ a solid set of coilovers for about 3k. I'm fine with how my car looks right now but I'm in a desperate need of a drop. What do you guys think?

Walking up to a blacked out bagged 370z in the parking lot or a flush Amuse 370z on coils

I know theres other factors and details that play into this but in general which would you prefer?

If you want more than just looks, forget the bags.

But not on his race car.

Most of the cars they air ride are the big boats.

It depends on how you drive your car. If you like to go to the track or canyon running go Coils if you're going to mostly just daily it, go bags.

OP. If you want the stance and want to go really low and raise up when you want to, go bags.
