hey glitch, it's kinda of hard to explain so i'll try my best:
springs - obviously used to let your car bounce and take the road's bumps and grinds.
shocks - to make sure your car doesn't bounce TOO much w/ just springs. gives the car's suspension a dampening effect.
(real)coilovers - comes w/ shocks AND springs AND the adjustment collar so that you can adjust your ride up and down.
fake coilovers (coilover sleeves) - comes w/ just the spring and adjustment collar. usually people that use this blow out their stock shocks and need to buy aftermarkets, or swap the stock shocks w/ aftermarket ones as soon as they buy the coilover sleeves.
anyone else want to add or change anything i said feel free. hope i helped some.

thanks man, that helped alot... so that's the reason why coilovers are so much more expensive than just shocks and springs? because they have the adjustment feature ?

glitch, yes real coilovers that include the spring/shock/and collar are very expensive.
you can also purchase the fake ones which are just coilover sleeves...basically a coilover w/o shocks..
both types have adjustable height features. [ 12-05-2002, 12:40 AM: Message edited by: Eugic92 ]
