Coil overs offer unlimited ride-height adjustments sometimes lowering a vehicle upwards of 3-5 inches. There are 2 different types of them. Sleeved coilovers replace the existing springs and slid over either your factory or aftermarket shocks. Full-bodied coilovers are complete shock and spring kits that have been rated and valved to complement each other. Both types of coil-overs are an unparalleled performance upgrade offering the driver complete suspension control.
Shock absorbers (dampers) are a vital part of any factory or aftermarket suspension. Just some food for thought..... It's time to change your shocks if you have begun to notice any of the following symptoms: Excessive rebound or “float”, wander or poor tracking, poor steering response, too much body wallow or lean during lane change or cornering, corner to corner pitch (corkscrewing motion) during cornering, excessive dive under braking, instability during braking, excessive brake lock-up, ABS engages too quickly and too often, or poor adhesion on rough surfaces (i.e. crossing railroad tracks).
Here are some random pic of coil overs:
