I've decided to get rid of the Airbag-Struts and convert to springs, as I no longer use the height adjustment much and theyr'e just not reliable enough.
Bowers Suspension in Mereweather have quoted me $2150 for a set of adjustable TEIN coilovers fitted (not sure exactly which model).
Monaco Performance at Kotara have quoted me roughly $1000 for a set of Lowered King Springs and KYB shocks fitted.
I'm after a good compromise between handling and ride quality - I don't want to be able to feel every little bump in the road, as I currently do. I dont do track days or anything like that, so I cant really see myself needing the adjustable coilovers.
Is there any real reason why I should get the more expensive TEINs? Anybody have any feedback on either Bowers or Monaco?

The CST's are 10 and 6 I think. They are 16 way damping adjustable and the rears have a set of helper springs and seats in them.
They cost me $2300NZ all up and have been on the car for about 7 months and have done about 5k km's. Not sure what they would be worth. I am in NZ by the way...
