Krusher

it's a coil that goes over the plug

replaces the coil pack or for older older guys... the distributer.

Krusher

My credentials? ehhh, I'm nothing... just a ford certified engine specilist...

Was your friend referring to an engine component or a suspension component? I've never heard of the above definition, but I do know that coilovers are adjustable springs that allow you to raise to lower your ride height without having to replace the springs or adjust the struts.

Krusher

ehhh... good point... for those who like aftermarket crap... coil overs are also... see above.
