Coilover refers to the arrangement of the spring and damper - a spring which fits over the damper body.
Technically, our stock MacPherson struts
are coilovers.
But the more popular vernacular for coilovers refers to an arrangenet where the lower spring perch is adjustable (either via a threaded sleeve in the damper body or a threaded damper body) to adjust ride height (and more importantly, allows you to corner-weight the vehicle).
That said, "coilovers" generally use smaller-diameter coils and are available in a huge range of spring rates.
