DIfference Between Shocks and Struts

[blk_shadow]

so does a normal car come orginally with shocks only? and then you upgrade to struts????

yep, its called shock absorber, or some people say shockers. and springs obviously.

and then u upgrade to coilovers for more option in setting up the suspension.

but if you just want to lower the car without lowering the life on your normal shocks and don't really care about too many settings, just get a good shock and spring combo.
