Default

the strut is the shock...
its a 1 piece unit which the spring goes in between

there is an upper spring cap that bolts between the shock tower and the spring/shock piston .. then the bottom spring cap and shock

i hope that made sense
there is lowered/shortened shocks available for the front but not the rear for IRS vehicles beside Konis which im told by redcliffe springs and suspension are very expensive
