Coilover

Critical For Operation

Suspension

Coilovers absorb and dampen suspension movement while supporting the vehicle's weight, allowing the driver to fine-tune suspension geometry, ride height, and spring rate for improved handling and comfort.

Coilovers integrate a shock absorber and coil spring into a single unit, allowing independent adjustment of both ride height and suspension stiffness. They are commonly installed on enthusiast and performance vehicles as an aftermarket upgrade, providing better handling and a more customized driving experience than factory suspension. Installation typically requires removing the original struts or shocks and springs.
