Re: Very lost!!!
some places sell combination shock and struts....some companies sell individual pieces because a lot of people want to lower their car, but don't need to replace everything. Some lowering springs/coilovers, just slip over the stock shocks.

Re: Re: Very lost!!!
A strut is a type of shock absorber. Some people call them struts while others call them shocks. To be techincal struts are structural while shocks are not. Struts have a spring mounted to them, shocks mount seperate than springs. Honda's use struts.
Why use good struts with junk ractive springs? Another thing about junk Ractive springs and adjustable springs in general, KYB does not suggest them to be used with their struts.
