Airbag delete to coilovers in 4.8is??

Has anyone done this & what are their thoughts, what coilovers did you choose etc?

I always new that i'd be getting to this point sooner or later & it's either replace everything with coilovers & be done with it...

or do new bags & hope that compressors/pumps/lines etc keep going otherwise its around 6-7k all told & no promise of freedom from continuing issues.

I didn't have airbags, but I did install BC coilovers. I like them. They ride about as stiff as my sport suspension.

BC Racing coilovers would be my choice if I decide to go that route.
