A coilover is an automobile suspension device that allows individual adjustment of the ground clearance. The name "coilover" is an abbreviation of "coil over shock absorber". Coilovers are found on many vehicles, from RC cars to normal passenger cars, race cars, and 4x4 vehicles. They are sometimes used as a factory suspension option on new cars. Coilovers are used in double wishbone suspension systems and are often a component of MacPherson struts. There are two main types of coilovers: full coilovers and slip-on coilovers. Full coilovers are matched up with a shock absorber from the factory, while with slip-on coilovers, the dampers and springs are bought separately and then assembled.
Aftermarket coilovers are available for many vehicles, and many companies make them. They allow the customer to adjust various settings such as ride height and damping. Camber and caster angles can also be adjusted if the cars suspension allows, and if the coilovers are supplied with adjustable top mounts.
