Air bag suspensions....can be fast. There are FAST guys racing on performance air bag suspensions. Google Air Lift Performance and similar.
I still prefer to race on our OHLINS coilovers, but air suspensions can work great when setup right and I could see installing one in a project car some day here.

I have also been considering an air suspension for my A124. You spend about $4k for an air suspension or Ohlins. The benefits of air suspensions are comfortable ride and adjustable ride height from the driver's seat. I have not dug into the performance of the system yet as I am just starting research. If Brian says performance can be good if correctly setup, I believe him. I am considering this system and it is the first one I have looked at: CEIKA Air Ride Coilover Kit for MAZDA MX-5 MX5 ND (15~UP) - Ceika Performance (ceika-store.com) . I bought a BBK for my SVX from Ceika and the quality and fitment was excellent. Their Air Ride kit starts at ~$2200. I will probably research over the next 3-6 months before I decide on a system or go cheap and just do the Eibach lowering springs.
