Lincoln Continental '96 update

I just called Rob from Strutmasters.
He was helpful in explaining to me a few options.
Here's my take:
My problem:
I need to replace the air kit, struts and/or airbag for my '96 Continental.
OEM parts from dealership are too high. (Mike from 5 star has great discounts on OEM) I am awaiting his email on prices/parts I sent to him yesterday.
From Strutmasters:
There are 2 types of Kits I can get:
Passive or Activie (Electronic)
Passive does away with the airbag ontop of the front struts. The airbag is replaced with coils. Price to get all 4 tires converted from electronic to passive is around $599.
If I wanted to still use the computerized settings for car ride (plush, firm, normal) I would have to get an electronic strut kit. This kit would include coils plus the electronic strut. Price for all (4) tires is approx $1100.
I'm trying to weight the cost/benefit. Are there any other drivers out there that have installed new Airkits? Whats your feedback on this change? Any other feedback would be appreciated.
BTW, thanks for the link Sifrino!
