Curiosity question

I keep seing people say they are getting coilovers for like a few hundred dollars. Now my question is what all are people refering to when they say coilovers? Are they talking about the bullsh!t coilovers that go on factory struts like Weapon-R and Ground Control or are they refering to true coilover that are threaded onto the strut (which in my eyes is a coilover)?As far as I know a coilover is fully adjustable and has the spring threaded onto the strut like the Tein or H and R.

Yeah not all the Coilovers out there are crap, if you put the right stuff together then they are really good too. But I have seen most to be considered this.

Coilovers - Sleve and Spring.
Full Coilovers - Threaded onto the strut.
