Coilovers are coil springs designed to be mounted on the shock (special shock). It is a packaging/handling design that takes up less space than seperate coil spring/ shocks. They usually allow suspension height adjustment and improved handling.
The spring has been stretched. When the coils are squeezed together then the spring has been compressed.
The region where coils are farthest apart for a compressional wave on a spring coil is the rarefaction zone. In this area, the coils are spread out, producing a lower density of coils compared to the rest of the spring.
Yes, a spring with more coils generally has a higher elastic spring force because the additional coils increase the amount of material available to store and release energy when the spring is compressed or stretched. This results in a stiffer spring that resists deformation to a greater extent.
In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart
In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart. So this is how it increases.

Squeezing the coils of a spring together stores potential energy in the spring. When released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing the spring to expand back to its original shape.
The stored energy in a stretched-out slinky spring toy is potential energy. As the coils are pulled apart, work is done to stretch the spring, and this work is stored in the spring as potential energy. When the spring is released, this potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy as the coils snap back together.
If the amplitude of compression waves traveling along the spring increases, the spacing between coils of the spring will decrease. This is because the increased energy from the compression waves causes the coils to compress and come closer together. In essence, the increased amplitude results in a more compacted spring configuration.
Usually by cutting of some of the material/coils.
In a longitudinal wave moving along a spring, the areas where the coils are the farthest apart are called rarefactions. These are regions of lower density and pressure in the wave where the coils are spread out.
Coil springs have a cylindrical shape and look like a metal coil. When moved back and forth they can be seen to compress and decompress and they make a distinct metallic sound. When compressed the spring will flatten out slightly and when released it will return to its coiled shape. The spring\'s coils may also move ever so slightly back and forth as the spring is compressed and decompressed. The number of coils and the diameter of the spring will affect the overall look. The more coils a spring has the more "bulkier" it will look; a spring with fewer coils will be more compact. The diameter of the spring will also affect its look as a thicker spring will have more compact coils and a thinner spring will look more stretched out. In addition to the overall shape the individual coils of the spring can be seen when it is moved back and forth. The coils are usually spaced evenly apart and wrapped tightly together. The surface of the individual coils is usually smooth although there may be some ridges along the edges. These ridges are usually the result of the manufacturing process and help to keep the individual coils in place.
