Lastly -
"Adjustable Coilovers and Coilover Spring Kits are designed to give you the look you want while maintaining the quality ride that you desire. Coil over spring kits allow adjustment anywhere from 0"-4" depending upon its application. Height is adjusted through use of a threaded sleeve that fits over your stock or aftermarket shocks and a dual locking perch mechanism. Allows lowering of car without changing springs"
That is straight from Slickcars.com.
Before you say it - no I have never heard of their site before. But google runs my life
Some can further debate it by going to "Webs Definition for Coilover" which states :
- combination of a race shock and coil in one unit. Uses a standard racing spring mounted on a threaded spring seat for ride height adjustment, and the shock resides inside the spring. Springs are available in any rate and any length thus allowing a complete customization of the suspension. Dual rate spring configurations also allow further tuning. Here is a picture of a coilover shock.

- A coilover is an automobile suspension device. It consists of a shock absorber with a coil spring encircling it. This provides for optimal damping without torsional loads. Many coilovers are adjustable for ride height as well using a simple threaded perch similar to a nut. Note that coilovers are not the same as struts - the former are not designed as wheel-location devices, while the latter are integral to this function.

There are numerous different definitions to coilovers, however you need to take into consideration that Adjustable Springs are as well considered an "Adjustable Spring Coilover". Keep in mind there is a difference between an Adjustable Spring Coilover and a Fully-Adjustable Shock/Spring Coilover.

It has a coil spring over a damper(Showa shock).

Back on topic though, decent price for the Comptech adjustable springs. 
As a consumer, I would most likely want to buy just the Comptech pieces as your stock shocks are from a 2000.

Dan,
I believe I could do $300 for these if they are still available. One thing I'd like to know though is approximately how many miles they have been run.
