why would anyone pay that much for these? there is no way it handles better than airbags. which is about the same price.

Along the same lines, we offer KW Coilovers that are TUV (European road authority) approved. Two variants - one for street (fixed damping but adjustable height) and one with adjustable height and rebound damping. Here is the link:

KW Coilover Suspension - 06-08 HHR

I would have to see your wife first. LOL - joking. I have one wife and that is already more than I can handle sometimes. And I just had a baby - no time for another one! LOL

Yes, a well engineered coilover that wasn't made by some dude in a garage will always be a bit pricey. These have to pass strict regulations to be street legal in Europe, much more so than the US standard. If you are putting your wife and child into the car and expect to have the safety and handling to escape from a trouble situation, I certainly wouldn't want to cheap out on any of the following: tires, wheels, suspension, brake pads, brake rotors

I like joking during the day - makes my job fun.

I don't expect to sell very many of these...its a premium product and very few people will be interested, but I figured I'd let everyone know about it just in case.

Your air bags are an adjustable supporting device. The coil-over shocks shown here use an adjustable spring for support instead of air. But also have the shock absorber hydraulic damping as well. Difference? More control of the suspension arm. Handling winner? Subjective to the owner but you don't see a lot of air bag suspension in high end racing vehicles (yet).
