Ok i am getting confused as to what struts are, i've searched but couldn't see what they were talking about cuz the links to the pics were dead...so this is what i found.

our cars have struts...are they all the way around??

Is this a Strut

So would it be correct to say that a strut is a combination of a Shock and Springs. Isn't that the same thing as a Coilover expect that its adjustable? If i got coilovers do i still need shocks?? Can i just buy Springs and Shocks and be done with it or do i need something else to hold the shock to the springs??

sorry for the dumb question, but i need to know.

Thanks

I recently put coilovers and struts on my car. My stock struts weren't going to be effective...so i upgraded to koni. My ride is a little bumpy but definitly not as bad as my friends with a civic. Damn its like jumping on a trampoline in his car!!! lol.
