There are real coilovers and sleeve coilovers. Real coilovers come with their own dampers while sleeve coilovers are just springs that come with a height adjusting mechanism.

If your looking to drop your car a lot I deff think a real coilover (not a Ground control sleeve deal) would be your only option because real coilovers maintain the same amount of travel regardless of if you drop them, sleeve coilovers lose suspension travel as you drop the car.
