Angry Suspension issues : recommendations

Hello Guys,
I have a suspension issue and my car is sitting low on the back. I think it is probably leaks from the air springs. Hopefully the pump has not gone bad due to running too long. Also the mechanic said the suspension management may be out and he will check it. Would you guys suggest to buy some air springs and replace at the back? Or just get a coilover conversion so I don't have to worry about these types of issues again?

it depends on your goals and budget. is the suspension stock? if it is...did you have plans to lower it? i would probably just replace the bags or compressor. i have springs and lowering links so the coilovers have no appeal to me. i havent noticed a degradation in the ride quality and the stance is perfect, to me. good luck and keep us updated.

OK Thanks...I guess I will see exactly what is wrong with the suspension system. If it is anything above say $1200, then I may just go for the conversion.
