long time no speak...

im hopefully gunna have and very well paying part-time job soon and it will allow me to buy my first car. im planning to get a Mk3 golf and do the common slammed BBS stretched thing (maybe something different if i can up with something). the plan was to get coilovers, and lower it 70mm, but the college that i go to has very gay speed bumps that stop you going to low, theres still some people that do it and they scrape like hell! so i was thinking air ride. but heres the problem i dont know what i need to make it work.

the most i know is that you swap springs and dampers for air bags, put and air line to a compress and then open and close a valve to change the height. thats pretty much all i know.

heres my questions:

1. is there a simple kit for a mk3 golf that i can just bolt on? (link?)
2. how hard would it be to install?
3. is it worth the money and trouble to get low?
4. which is better coilovers or air ride?
5. is there a site which explains how air ride works
6. should i do it on my first car?
7. what would it do to my insurance?

i have looked at all these things on the internet and its very confusing, so im asking you guys.



please try and be helpful and not say im and idiot, its better to research about it first and then decide instead of jumping in the deep end.


thanks

coils are a static slam (IMG:style_emoticons/default/facepalm.gif)

you can alter them when parked and jacked up, but not when rolling, hence static.
