Also you can add on a dakota digital controller unit to where when you start the car it will set it to your desired height. Or they also have an auto ride controller that will have a "low, med and high" buttons for what ever you set those to.
The main advantage to running our bag system instead of an air cylinder is performance and life. With air cylinders your performance will suffer because you are removing the shocks and placing air cylinders in place of them. With the bags your just removing the coils and keeping the shocks all the way around.
Also with an air cylinder there is a moving seal inside that will have alot shorter of life then an air bag that is compressing and extending.
Some advantages that an air cylinder does have is that you can fit it into alot smaller of space. (i.e. honda's) where an air bag will just not fit properly. Also you can reverse pressurize an air cylinder to pull the wheel up off the ground.
Typically an air cylinder is the 2nd choice when an air bag will not fit or you want to "3 wheel".

However on your local racing track where you are performing those speeds there will be reduction in handing over your current suspension.
Personally i have tested them out over 100 mph and then handling was increadable.

There is a few different ways to pop a cylinder. You can have something rubbing against it. Driving the vehicle too high and have them max out like a slide hammer and rip them apart. but the most common way is to have the internal seal get damaged and air blow right through it. Most common on the seals is from debits or from friction from moving up and down they will wear out.

The Dakota digital air/height controller is a nice set-up to include with any air-suspension system. Has 3 presets buttons for low/med/high and full dump. I have the optional wire-less remote feature with my set-up. If you have a bodykit, air-suspension are great for looks and it may prevent bodykit damage, simply raise it when driving over a bump or a steep driveways. Best part, car looks cool fully dumped when parked.
