could someone please quickly explain

[T88_SAG]

what a coilover actualy is/does?

cheers

 

[Henry]

front struts are coil over anyway, so never really understood the name but, setting them apart from most OE set-ups, they typically use much narrower 2.25" springs.

object is in improving ride/handling compromise, as any other spring/damper change. some will have adjustable platforms, allowing you to adjust ride height whilst unit is still in-situ

PS. are Clio rear coil overs actually 'coil over'?

 

[T88_SAG]

ahh cheers
so getting uprated coilovers would improve handling other the standard?

 

[Henry]

that's the objective although i've no personal experince. could try a search or see what other replies you get. would personally be interested in learning people's opinions of how they affect both the ride and the handling, as there's a compromise between the two in any set up

 

[LFCJosh]

alot of people get them because they go really low and i think the ride is abit better than having normal lowering springs

no they are seperate damper and spring. the spring has a platforn on the bottom to adjust the height
