What should I do, I really want to level the xB out (because the Tanabe springs are too friggin soft in the rear and i need new shocks all around anyway)

Should I go Coil overs

+ easy to install
+ no additional maintenance
+ can take a little abuse from hard driving
+ very adjustable

or should I go (back to) bags

+ adjustable on the fly
+ soft ride
+ more "showy"
+ Can lead to possible destruction of lip kit if done right (yes, that is a plus... If you knew me, you would understand)

The only thing that i have come up with, would be that the coil overs are going to be ~400-500 cheaper... which is the sun roof i want to put in the car

Ive done bags before, and the install was a pain in the ass esp with the extra upkeep needed, any input is helpful, hopefully

I would go back to bags. Coilovers are pretty cool, but I like the idea of being able to lift the car with the push of a button if you need to. :-)

+1 for coilovers. you can still destroy a front lip (and rear lip if your low enough) on coilovers, im loving proof. hahahah plus you can still play around and drive spirited

Ask your self what type of driving you will be mostly doing with your car?

Is the car going to see 50% of its miles on the street and the other 50% at a parking lot show?

if so, bag it.

If the car going to see 50% of its miles on the street and the remaining 50% on the track?

If so, adjustable coilovers would be great.

Coilovers are great if you use them for what they are intended for :)
