Usually, springs are attached to the front of the car near the shocks, or in some cases, the shock goes right through the middle space of the spring, connecting further down to the rest of the suspension system. Coilovers feature a spring coiled around the shock, working as a single element instead of two separate mechanisms, as in regular suspension. In other words, you get a coil that’s sitting directly over the shock or strut.
If your goal is solely to lower your vehicle, then lowering springs are the cheaper and facile option. A slight increase in cornering performance may be felt, but it won’t go anywhere near a proper set of coilover set. Still, this is not the end of the discussion. Indeed, coilovers offer better stability on the track, but you will prefer standard suspension or lowered springs at best when you are driving on the street. Here’s why. Coilover shocks are done to be stiffer in order to increase performance and stability. This means that there will be a smaller rebound on the shock, making it a potential danger on potholes found on the street. When shocks can’t rebound enough, the bumper may hit the road and get damaged.
