Strut is what our cars have:

Shock:

Full coil overs include a strut with a spring and adjustable perches for adjustable ride height.

Sleeve kits are springs and perches to go over any strut which are adjustable for ride height.

Lowering springs replace te stock spring and are not adjustable.

Thanks so much! So I'm assuming lowering springs are the cheapest?

Quality lowering springs and coilover sleeves can ride pretty nice if u pair them with a quality strut.
