First off I know nothing about these types of shocks but
is there a difference between Resivor(sp) shocks and Coilover shocks

Could some one enlighten me about these

What is a websight where I could look at coilover shocks like Rick and Tom Rios have.

And a websight where I could find some Resivor shocks?

Coilover shocks have the spring integrated into them so you do away with your coil spring, leaf spring, torsion bar, etc. Most have remote reserviors to hold excess fluid under compression and also to lessen heat. Many conventional shocks (not coilovers) also have reservoirs for their benefit.

So basically they're 2 different concepts, but most coilovers are remote reservoir shocks.
