Sure they do. After-all, the standard gtt front suspension is a coilover set up.

i think he means the adjustable type. and isn't the standard type a mcpherson strut?

Yes, the gtt has a Macpherson strut suspension setup. Now where is the coil?

macperson strut with a spring .
he want adjustable coilovers not a standard setup or lowering springs
-
Coilover is short for coil/spring over strut. The coilover is one component of the MacPherson strut suspension setup:

I have Koni suspension on one of my gtt's and they are adjustable, therefore Koni do an adjustable coilver. And very good they are to, much better than the Avo's on my other gtt :)

Yes, there is a nut to adjust "stiffness" on the top of the strut.

they are top adjustable
so they are not coilovers. they are totally different to what he's after.
these are coil overs

:? They ARE coilovers. As I stated above, coilover is short for coil over strut. The coil is over the strut, therefore they are a coilover design.
Both of the links you have posted are for coilovers, they're just different styles of coilovers :)
-
you can tell the prople that are look up a dictonary to be correct but doesnt know what the meaning in the modifying sense meaning they are different meanings to the lowering kit to a coilover kit.
oh well people we have all been told the r5 came with coilovers as standard aparrently

Oh dear!

oh god...well
wen i said i was lookin for coilovers i didnt mean coils/springs over strut and whatever else was stated as an example
i meant adjustable coilover suspension setup...as most kno when you say i want coilovers.
i get the point wen u say coil over strut and what not but thats jus bein fussy.
its like me asking wer i can buy a specific type of alloy wheel..ie a multispoke by kei or somthin
then a million folk sendin me links to a fabricating company that make metal gates and fabricate alloy products...and sayin its still alloy.
or send me links to some whell thats total opposite design and sayin its still a wheel.
sorry bout the examples but i had to point this out to a guy on another forum the other day as he was bein a complete arse about nothin.
