Coilovers A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Types Advantages and Disadvantages
Coilovers are a suspension system that combines a shock absorber and a spring into one unit. They are a popular aftermarket upgrade for car enthusiasts who want to improve the handling, performance, and adjustability of their vehicles. In this article, we will delve into the details of coilovers, including what they are, how they work, the types available, and their advantages and disadvantages.

​What are Coilovers?

A coilover is a suspension system that comprises a shock absorber, a spring, and a threaded shock body. The spring is wound around the shock body and is adjustable for preload. The threaded shock body allows for ride height adjustment by moving the spring perch up or down, which changes the distance between the spring and the shock absorber. The adjustment of the spring preload and ride height provides adjustability to the suspension system.

​How do Coilovers Work?
Coilovers work by dampening the motion of the suspension system. The shock absorber controls the movement of the spring, and the spring resists the motion of the suspension system. When a vehicle encounters a bump, the shock absorber compresses, which compresses the spring. The compressed spring then rebounds, pushing the shock absorber back up, which causes the suspension system to rebound. This damping motion helps to keep the wheels in contact with the road surface, which improves traction, handling, and stability.

​Types of Coilovers
There are three types of coilovers available:
  1. Non-Adjustable Coilovers: These are coilovers with fixed dampening and ride height. They are suitable for daily driving and provide a slight improvement in handling and ride quality compared to the stock suspension.
  2. Single-Adjustable Coilovers: These coilovers allow for dampening adjustment, which enables you to adjust the suspension stiffness according to your preference. However, the ride height is not adjustable.
  3. Double-Adjustable Coilovers: These coilovers offer both dampening and ride height adjustment. You can adjust the stiffness of the suspension system and lower or raise the ride height, allowing you to fine-tune the suspension system to your liking.

​Advantages of Coilovers
  1. Improved Handling: Coilovers provide superior handling and stability compared to the stock suspension system. They reduce body roll, which improves cornering and overall handling performance.
  2. Adjustability: Coilovers allow for easy adjustability of the suspension system. You can adjust the ride height and stiffness of the suspension to your liking, depending on your driving style and road conditions.
  3. Customization: Coilovers provide an opportunity to customize your vehicle's suspension system to your preference. You can achieve the perfect stance and performance by adjusting the ride height and stiffness of the suspension system.

​Disadvantages of Coilovers
  1. Cost: Coilovers are generally more expensive than the stock suspension system or traditional aftermarket springs and shocks.
  2. Comfort: Coilovers can be harsh on the road, which can affect ride comfort. Non-adjustable coilovers may provide a better ride quality compared to single or double-adjustable coilovers.
  3. Installation: Coilover installation requires a professional and experienced technician who has the necessary tools and expertise to install the suspension system correctly.

Coilovers are an excellent upgrade for car enthusiasts who want to improve their vehicle's handling, adjustability, and performance. They offer several advantages, including improved handling, adjustability, and customization. However, they also have some disadvantages, including cost, comfort, and installation complexity. Understanding the types of coilovers available and their advantages and disadvantages will help you make an informed decision when upgrading your vehicle's suspension system.
