a shock it the dampner (basically it i a valve that compresses when you hit a bump so that you dont feel to total effect of the bump) a coilover is basically just an adjustable spring ... when you rotate the perch with a wrench clockwise or counteclockwise you can raise or lower it

the only advantage to adj shocks it that you can change the ride quality ie: soft hard... on some they have settings for street and strip
