I hate the marketing language everyone uses. Guys, your cars come with "coil-over" struts from the factory. That is what the standard MacPherson strut design consists of. "Coil-over" is a general term, simply meaning the spring is located co-axially with the strut/shock.

What everyone sells as a "coil-over" kit is just a strut/shock with a threaded body, and springs/perches/etc, so that ride-height is easily adjustable.
