# What are coilovers and what do they do?
## Coilovers combine a coil spring and shock absorber into one adjustable unit - letting you lower your car, improve handling, and fine-tune ride quality all in one suspension upgrade.
Coilovers are an aftermarket suspension upgrade that combines a coil spring and a shock absorber into a single integrated unit. Unlike the separate struts and springs found in most factory setups, coilovers allow you to adjust ride height and - on most models - damping stiffness, all from one compact assembly.
**What do coilovers do?**
Coilovers let you lower your car for a more aggressive stance while simultaneously improving handling dynamics. By lowering the center of gravity, coilovers reduce body roll during cornering and make the car feel more connected to the road. Adjustable damping lets you dial in the balance between comfort and performance.
**Who are coilovers for?**
Coilovers are the go-to suspension upgrade for enthusiasts who want to lower their car, improve handling, or dial in a specific ride quality - whether for a slammed daily driver, a track-focused weekend car, or anything in between. They offer significantly more control and adjustability than lowering springs or stock suspension.
