Like.I always thought that was funny too. "Coilovers" have the ride height adjustment, even though they both have coils over a strut.Here's another one for ya: Isn't the stock exhaust system a, "catback" exhaust? :) Bonus: I bought some aftermarket... -
Who says it's not a coilover? It's the difference between using the technical definition and the colloquial / common slang definition.By the technical definition (a coil spring mounted coaxially to a damper), all McPherson Strut designs are a...
