By definition:

Quote:
A coilover is an automobile suspension device. "Coilover" is short for "coil spring over shock". It consists of a shock absorber with a coil spring encircling it.
Technically macpherson struts are still coilovers in the literal sense because the spring is circled around the shock. They're not a separate shock and spring.
