coilovers(non tein style) will ride very hard and have been known to make noise but gives you adjustability, springs(depending on what kind) give you a better then stock like ride and better handling/cornering, real coilovers aka teinSS kits give you the best of both but with a higher price tag. Air ride, well that will ride like garbage but then again its air ride. If your going for performance in your car then save up get the teins if you want to be able to slam it for shows and bringer back up for daily driving, if your going for strictly show then air/coilovers. Otherwise go with springs(eibachs are good).

low drop = goldlines small drop = eibach
spring will give you a better ride then coil overs or air ride.
if you go with coilovers, drop zone, and skunk2 are the best...or so i've heard. I personally despise coil overs due to the horrible ride they give and, personally, you don't adjust em enough to justify buying them.
Air ride is pimp, but its a show type suspension only. It will not be a good performance set up, and daily driving will be aight.
Personally go for springs and a good adjustable strut...if you are going for all show, then air ride is your best bet.
Full coil over set ups pwn all...Tein, JIC, and most other brands will yield better gains all around, plus offer adjustability...they are the only coil overs i would buy.
