well i have found that you have good and bad sides to both cylinders and bags however i perfer bags
cylinders offer more things that you can do with them such as you can dog leg with some systems or possibly three wheel depending again on the system and sometimes they give you better hight adjustability however they do give you a much rougher ride more like that of hydro's
bags on the other hand come in a variety of different types some of which offer the same things as cylinders and they give you much better ride quality or a smoother ride somtimes smoother than a stock suspensiononly problem with them is that just like tires the bags do wear out and you have to replace them occasionally but then again a friend of mine had to replace a cylinder he could have bought two bags for the same price that he bought one cylinder
in the end i guess it is more of a matter of what you like the best

master image customs offers a really good setup but they are quite pricy really any system is good just make sure you have at least a 2.5 gallon tank and a good compressoer 100% duty
i recomend a viair compressorand at least 1/4" lines and valves

SMC has some dope cylinders, you cant run just air bags on most cars like you can on a suv or truck, it'll be a unit similar to art shockwaves. usually cars will run said units in front and cylinders in back. it really depends on what you want and how low you wanna go. if you are gonna be switch happy, ide say run 3/8" lines, 3/8" smc hf, and deff. a viar 100% duty cycle comp. with plenty of air storage....etc.

PM me if you need more bag/cyle. info.

I always thought if your gonna do it, do it right. Something like 1/2 lines/fittings/valves, 6 compressors, 3 five gallon tanks. As far as bags/cylinders, I do think that is all preference.
