Anyone out there running an air ride system on the rear suspension as a replacement for coil springs?

If so:
What kind of ride height adjustment can you get?
How do they feel compared to coils as far as ride....harsh, soft etc..

Thanks

I've decided not to go with the air ride on my 69 Lemans build.
But I have a 2013 Ram Truck R/T, that I put RideTech on all four corners. I really like it on the truck. I can run it just high enough to where it never hits the bump stops. And yet it's still a truck and I can increase the air pressure and I've put 1300 pounds of flagstone rock in the bed for a short haul.
On the other hand, it's complicated with several points of failure. Ridetech has been very good on support. But I've failed a control unit (Ridetech stood behind it as warranty), had to have both front 'ShockWaves' rebuilt (Ridetech repaired both free), and one air compressor (long term internal corrosion, I raised the air intake to reduce water exposure). I've put about 70,000 miles on the truck since the install. But I dread the day that I'm 500 miles from home and something fails.
On a car where the load doesn't vary like a truck, I'd consider coil-overs first. Simple is good.
On my truck the ride is firm to my liking and it corners well. However, that cannot be used as a reference for your car.
