Is struts better than coilovers?

struts depends entirely on your preferences and how you use your vehicle. To retain stock ride height and ride quality, original manufacturer struts are a no-brainer and require no additional adjustments after installation. On the other hand, lifting or lowering coilovers is an easy upgrade for any home mechanic.

Do coilovers replace struts and shocks?

A coilover combines the abilities of a strut, with the damping of a shock, and allows the entire assembly to be installed as a single unit, rather than tearing down the vehicle’s coil springs, mounts, struts, etc all separately.

Do I need struts with coilovers?

Coilover Shocks are easy to confuse with struts because of the coil spring. The reason they are not struts is that they are not an integral component. If you remove a coilover shock, the vehicle will fall down onto the bump stops. However, it can still technically drive and steer.

What is better lowering springs or coilovers?

– Lack of adjustability – Spring rate not always matched to damper – Stiffer springs can cause a rougher ride – Can cause faster wear of shocks and struts
