Re: suspension questions

If your gonna go with the airbags I would just put the stock spindles back in.

I've heard that airbags do fine at the track. But if your car is lowered 3 inches it probably dosn't do very well at the track and this would be an improvement.

Your springs don't handle power, that is your overall chassis set-up. The air bags will do just fine if they include quality adjustable shocks.
