Why do coilovers, when Arnott supplies the airbags for under $300 ?

Has Arnott come out with the Bilstein coil-over kit yet? Anyone comment on the KYB's valving? Sporty? Firm, soft, stiff?
Can anyone also comment on the propensity for my AR to vibrate between 45-50 from day one, despite, tires, wheels, (4 diff sets to date) front end bushings, links, CV's...would the drive-shaft carrier bearing create a vibration?

Default Road force balance may be your answer

When I had the wobble I initially thought it was my warped OEM discs. When they were replaced with aftermarket discs the wobble became less prominent but still there. When I got new tires last winter I found a shop that had the machine and got them road force balanced. The car drove like new, wobble completely eliminated.
