Coilovers are a type of suspension that allows for ride height adjustments and can offer fundamental changes in how a vehicle performs during acceleration, braking, and cornering. They are usually an aftermarket addition, but some vehicles, like performance-focused cars, have them from the factory. Coilovers are made up of a coil spring that is wrapped around a shock absorber. The purpose of coilover springs is to prevent the chassis from bottoming out, support each individual wheel on the vehicle, and mitigate or reduce body roll. Coilovers can transform a vehicle in multiple ways that affect appearance and performance. Here are some of the things that coilovers do:

• Flexible lowering: Coilovers allow individual adjustment of the ground clearance, which means that the driver can adjust the height of the vehicle according to personal preferences, the vehicle setup, the track, and external conditions.

• Adjustment options: Most coilover suspensions also have other adjustment options, such as the hardness, rebound, or compression damping. This allows optimal adjustment to personal preferences, the vehicle setup, the track, and external conditions.

• Improved handling: Coilovers can be used to increase the roll stiffness of the vehicle, which reduces weight transfer when the vehicle changes direction. This leads to improved driver confidence and more stable road handling for the updated vehicle.

• Tightened play: Coilovers are also used to tighten the play that’s otherwise common in most factory-built suspensions.

• Reduced body roll: Coilovers reduce excessive body roll, leading to improved driver confidence and more stable road handling for the updated vehicle.

Coilovers can be adjusted to suit the drivers preferences and the vehicles setup, making them a popular choice for car enthusiasts who want to improve their vehicles performance and appearance.
