Coilover
a shock absorber and spring combo, where the spring is around the outside of
the shock absorber thus giving you "Coil (being the spring)-Over (Over the shock absorber)
as opposed to a suspension set up in the rear of small cars like the getz or barina
where the suspension setup is not a coil over setup they have the spring in a
different area to the shock absorber
shock absorber being in the strut assembly and the spring being on the axel
assembly
basically what ben is saying is correct
strut is your shock absorber
think about it.... you get a strut bar it goes on top of the struts, whats under the struts
if you decide to have a look??? the shock absorbers i know in the front of mine its a
coil-over setup and in nearly all front wheel drive cars its the same in the front end...
