Coilovers offer more adjustment over a spring and shock package, whether you need that on a street car is unlikely or at the very least debateable.

What they do offer is the opportunity to refine the stance of the car.

If it’s aesthetics you’re after you can adjust the ride height to get accurate closure on the guard to tyre gaps which is something you can’t do to the same degree with off the shelf springs.

The added advantage after that is you then have the means to be able to adjust the handling performance of the vehicle.

On the track, well it’s all about adjustment to get the perfect setup for your car and driving style.

My Chassis man tried to talk me into springs and shocks for my new Ute as he said it was more cost effective.

When he admitted he may not be able to get the ride height perfect for my new rims and tyres then coilovers became the logical answer.
