i think you would all be very surprised on how well airride can handle.
Will it be as tight as a coilover set? no. But it will still handle very well if setup correctly.
Alot of it comes down to how much are pressure you are running at your desired ride height. If you are running very low preasure at ride height, then you will have a VERY soft ride, and cornerning/handling will suffer. However, if the bags are setup in that the bags are under a decent PSI, at the desired ride height, its essentially the same as having a stiffer spring.
Way I was shown was to think of a airbag as a spring (which it will be used as). Low preasure = soft spring, higher preasure = firm spring. Its all in the installation as to how it rides at each height.
Just my 2cents
PS: they also did a test on HorsePowerTV once, and came to the conclusion that it may not be QUITE as good as a coilover setup, but it definatly holds its own. Especially for those who do mostly cruising, and some hard driving verses those who are all out track guys
