shock and spring are factory look type suspension and are at a set hight, depending on the shock you can sometimes adjust the dampening.

coilovers are normally hight adjustable aswell as being able to adjust the dampening

Most cheap coilovers are not fully adjustable so damping cannot be changed :wink:
