Well,i do and i dont regret it.
The springs are cheap and reliable.Better axle travel.(as i regularly use it offroad).I fitted a 2" lift kit with new springs and dampers.
When driving on the road it wallows about more,also the steering self centering isn't very good.Also i had to remove my rear anti roll bar as i kept twisting the links badly.I fitted 2" alloy blocks to the mounts but still twisted the anti roll bar links and damaged them.Got sick of replacing them so i just binned it.
I miss the air suspension because at the touch of a button i could get a 2" lift when off road and it was stable on road and over 56 mph (i think) it lowers it more so its even more stable.I find that anything over 60mph on motorway the car gets blown about and wanders about more,but this maybe because of the 2" lift,not because its on springs.
Also the great thing about the air suspension is you can pile a heavy load in the boot and she levels up nice !
My airbags were shot,so if i had replaced them it would have been ok,but then again i did a 2" lift with dampers for less money than 4 new airbags and because i uses it offroad a lot i wanted the reliability of the coils.
If you dont use it too much off road i would keep the air suspension.

yeah i had a feeling thats what it would feel like with springs..i like the air suspension in the ways you stated too..i do go off roading once a month..due to this i have just sussed out why it leans on the front corner when stationary......the air bag is in need of changing..so will have to change that first before i change wheels..but think i will stick to eas..for the stability on road more than anything else..
many thanks again
