  In the first picture, the big thing on the left is a strut, it comes on your car from the factory. The red spring on it, is the spring from the coilover set. The coil itself is a threaded cylinder. The spring sits on top of a holder which is threaded. This holder moves up and down the coil by twisting it, easily allowing you to adjust the heigth of your car. You can see these pieces better in the second picture. If you buy what they call springs, you will get a set of springs which will look very similar to the red springs in the pictures above. They are shorter in heigth than your stock springs which will lower your car and are as strong so you don't bounce everywhere. This post has been edited by celica3sgte: Jan 12, 2004 - 1:10 AM |
