Yes you are right, the basic VW struts are a
coilover design, but for some reason, height adjustable coilovers have just
become coilovers. For your average dude that buys coilovers, the advantage
may be just the fact that you can set the ride height exactly how you like it,
instead of having neuspeed, intrax or H&R dictate it to you. For the
more serious racer, the advantages are ease of spring replacement, and ability
to set cornerweights (basically, you set the car on scales, and adjust the cars
coilovers till you get the car balanced properly).
