They are both coil springs, a lowering spring is shorter and usually has a thicker coil stock or more coils. Also with lowering spring you are set to one high as with coilover you can change your height whenever you want. also with lowering spring you have to buy new struts where the coilover usually come pre assembled with the struts.

Can you still replace shocks and stuts if your car has coilovers?

Coilovers are a replacement (usually an upgrade) for a car that has a Strut Type setup. Coilovers contain a damper and a spring (Coiled "over" the damper).That being said you can replace or change the springs or spring rates on your Coilovers. In addition you can replace or change the dampers on some of the more expensive Coilovers.So to answer you original question, you can not replace shocks and/or struts on a car equipped with Coilovers. Apples and oranges - they are both fruits but not the same kind.Hope this helps.

They might fit but there is a difference in the weight of the two cars. The Z28 will be heavier in the front due to the V8, so it may affect the handling. The Z28 springs should be stiffer to handle the weight difference.
