for the record, the term "coilover" has been misused by the automotive industry for many years.

"adjustable coilover" is more accurate, but even then it's not accurate because there are many cars (especially newer cars like Prius, 350Z, etc) where the rear spring is separate from the shock assembly, resulting in a more compact rear subframe/suspension design and is no longer a "coil spring over shock" design.

but whatever, keep roasting away.
