Do coilovers make your ride smoother?
Does this mean they won’t give you a performance increase? Absolutely not. Since most coilovers are also going to allow you to lower the ride height, the spring and shock rate should be increased to avoid the suspension crashing and bottoming out. Doing so will offer a performance bump to most any vehicle.
What is the difference between full coil over shocks and slip on coil over shocks?
Two of the main types of coilovers are full coilovers and slip-on coilovers. Full coilovers are matched up with a shock absorber from the factory, while with slip-on coilovers, the dampers and springs are bought separately and then assembled.
How can I tell if my shocks are bad?

- Unusual tire wear.
- Leaking fluid on the exterior of shocks or struts.
Why are coilover shocks used in off road racing?
Their compact, space saving design makes them very easy to mount in even the tightest spaces and makes them ideal for custom applications. Another benefit of coilovers that makes them popular with off-road racers is that they allow for very quick and easy tuning of both the shock absorber valving and spring rates.
What are the benefits of a king coilover shock?
Another benefit of coilovers that makes them popular with off-road racers is that they allow for very quick and easy tuning of both the shock absorber valving and spring rates. King Coilovers are available in 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 body sizes and accept springs with rates up to 1,000 lbs per inch.
How long does it take to build a coilover shock?
All Shock Orders take 3-5 Days to Build. Some Spring Orders Take 7-14 Days. Made in USA
