coilover
Spring-damper combo unit
A coilover is a type of vehicle suspension that combines a coil spring mounted over a shock absorber into a single unit.
Coilovers allow adjustable ride height and damping, making them popular in performance and racing applications: He installed coilovers to lower the car and tighten the handling.
The term comes from "coil over shock."
