This document is a labeled cutaway/callout illustration of an aftermarket adjustable coilover suspension assembly (strut/shock with coil spring). The image identifies each major component of the unit from top to bottom: an adjusting tab for rebound force damping adjustment, a bracket for E-Con (an electronic damping controller), a pillowball upper mount, a low-noise rubber spring seat, an internal bump stop, a dust boot, a coil spring made of new material, a stainless steel lock nut and lower spring seat, a stainless steel external cylinder with threads housing a 5-stage adjustable shock, a stainless steel case lock nut used for ride height adjustment, a shock case with a new special coating (shown in blue), and a lower mounting bracket. A reader can learn the anatomy of a threaded-body, height-adjustable coilover: how ride height is set via the case lock nut on the threaded stainless cylinder, that damping is 5-way adjustable with a rebound adjusting tab at the top, and that the unit supports optional electronic control via the E-Con bracket. No brand name, part numbers, vehicle model, or year information is visible in this image; it appears to be a page from marketing/product literature.
