Not sure i follow. Do you mean like, if i go air, i'd have to drive higher because risk of bottoming out on potholes/bumps? since i assume in order for air to be softer, its going to travel alot more on dips where as coils driving low would normally be stiff.

Yes, you will drive a little higher than if you were on coils. The bags need a certain amount of pressure in them to maintain ride comfort/stability. I went from coilovers to bags just recently and I need to run slightly higher than when I was static when driving around town. Otherwise the ride is too soft and the car will bottom out easier. I mostly noticed my front wheels hitting the fender on turns when hitting little dips in the road. Never had that with my coilovers at the same ride height.

Pretty much what mlsully said above me. With air, the shocks will be softer than with coilovers so you will have more shock travel distance. This means the car will have more "bounce" which means you will need to have a higher ride height to not scrape than if you were on coils.
