**Notice how it's the strut AND spring in one?

Whereas all of us on mx-3.com use coilovers that look like...

the above is an adjustable strut aka. real adjustable coilovers.

the others are just conversion kits for struts.

coilover sleeves: Ground Control, stuff for the MX-3. Must be paired with your choice of strut.

coilover "system": everything combined, little room to customize, usually not rebuildable/revalveable. usually more expensive, but idiot proof for people who don't care.

K.A.W. in germany makes real coilovers for our car BUT it cost ALOT more than dropzones but they pay you a refund if you deliver your old strunts. you can ofcourse mod dropzone and gorund control coilovers like Luc St. Pierre did
