Coilovers & Components

What This Collection Covers

Coilovers combine a coil spring and a shock absorber into a single adjustable unit, giving control over ride height and, on many models, damping stiffness. This collection also includes the individual components used to service, upgrade, or protect an existing coilover system.

Product Categories

Complete coilover kits, individual coilover shocks, coilover springs, lowering springs, protective shock boots and covers, dampening adjustment extenders, replacement sleeves, and suspension hardware kits.

Coilovers vs Coilover Components

A complete coilover kit is the right choice when replacing an entire suspension corner or upgrading from factory struts. Individual components, such as replacement springs, boots, sleeves, or hardware kits, are the right choice when servicing an existing coilover system rather than replacing the whole unit.

Choosing Adjustability

Single adjustable coilovers allow damping tuning in one direction, while double adjustable coilovers separate compression and rebound control for more precise tuning on track-focused builds.

Coilovers for Trucks and SUVs

Truck and SUV coverage includes Ford F-150, Ranger, Bronco, and Super Duty, Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, and Land Cruiser, and Chevrolet Silverado and Colorado, with lift-compatible coilover shocks and springs for off-road and towing use.

Coilovers for Sedans and Muscle Cars

Sedan and muscle car coverage includes Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Chrysler 300, Chevrolet Corvette and Impala, classic Ford F100, and GM muscle car platforms, with adjustable coilover kits and lowering springs for street handling upgrades.

Coilovers for European Performance Platforms

European performance coverage includes Porsche Cayman, Boxster, and Cayenne, with adjustable coilover kits built for track-capable handling while remaining streetable.

How to Choose the Correct Coilover Setup

• Confirm the exact year, make, model, trim, and suspension configuration
• Decide between a complete coilover kit and individual replacement components
• Choose single adjustable coilovers for street use and double adjustable for track tuning
• Select spring rates appropriate for vehicle weight and intended use
• Check lift or lowering range needed for ride height goals
• Confirm whether shock boots or protective covers are needed for off-road use
• Verify hardware kits include all required bushings and mounting components
• Have an alignment performed after any ride height change
• Match front and rear spring rates for balanced handling
• Break in new coilovers gradually before aggressive driving

Common Questions

What is the difference between coilovers and lowering springs?

Coilovers replace the entire spring and shock assembly with an adjustable unit, while lowering springs replace only the factory spring on the factory shock, offering a lower cost but less adjustability.

Do I need an alignment after installing coilovers?

Yes. Any ride height change affects alignment settings, so a professional alignment is recommended after installing coilovers or lowering springs.

What is the benefit of double adjustable coilovers?

Double adjustable coilovers allow independent tuning of compression and rebound damping, giving more precise control over ride and handling characteristics than single adjustable units.

Can coilovers be used for towing?

Certain truck-specific coilover shocks and springs are rated for towing and hauling. Confirm the specific product is rated for your load requirements before towing.

Do shock boots matter for street-driven vehicles?

Shock boots primarily protect against dirt and debris and are most valuable for off-road use, though they can extend shock seal life on any vehicle exposed to road grime.

How often should coilovers be serviced?

Most quality coilovers can go 30,000 to 60,000 miles or more between service, depending on use, though track-driven vehicles may need more frequent inspection and rebuilding.

Can I install coilovers myself?

Coilover installation is a moderate DIY project for those comfortable with suspension work and a spring compressor when needed. Vehicles with electronic damping control may require professional installation.

What spring rate should I choose?

Spring rate depends on vehicle weight, intended use, and desired ride quality. Stiffer rates suit track and towing use, while softer rates prioritize daily ride comfort.

Are coilover components interchangeable between brands?

Generally no. Coilover components such as springs, sleeves, and hardware are typically brand and model specific, so match replacement parts to your exact coilover kit.

Do coilovers void my vehicle warranty?

Suspension modifications can affect warranty coverage on related components. Check with your vehicle manufacturer or dealer regarding warranty implications before installation.
