Strut = shock + spring

No worries...just wanted to say that cause I was confused by it all before I purchased my first set of coilovers. Yeah, strut is shock + spring + shock absorber and more on other cars.
For those confused on how True Coilovers work, this is back when I first installed my coilovers awhile back and a SSR GT3 test fit
The spring bucket is not used anymore

Some of you guys are intermixing the term strut with shock. A strut is actually a suspension component made up of a spring and shock...etc.
I was going to switch my suspension but I decided to keep these for a bit, riding stiff helps me a bit, the wheel wont hit the fender when it rebounds Originally Posted by G35Papa

Tyco...true coilovers have a larger shock in the back which is why it is closer to your rim. I had the same issue but mine was hitting and I had to raise the car and eventually buy different tires...I failed at getting it all right when I got this last set of rims lolSome of you guys are intermixing the term strut with shock.

Hey Choleaoum these are the first pics I've seen of your setup. Looks sick. I don't want to thread jack, so can you start a new thread about your ride. Curious on your wheel specs. How are those bags treating you?
Looks like we have a third ride to add to the flush and dumped in Long Beach Sedan photo shoot (although please don't dump it all the way cause you'll make RC and I look too high...LOL)
