"Coilover" simply means the spring goes over the damper. The Z just needs an adjustable spring seat, and adjustable dampers are preffered.

Technically, keeping the spring and damper separate is better since that's the original design. Combining them into a single unit (without getting technical) affects vehicle dynamics and possibly chassis wear.
