Get your terminology straight

Get your terminology straight
Correct terms and what they mean to avoid future confusion. If you know some terms, please advise and share.
---------
VTEC (not vtec, v-tech, v-tec, Vtec)
---------
Coilover - coil spring over shock. So all your Honda suspension is called coilover. Echo has a rear shock separated from the coil. If your coilover can adjust dampening or height, or both, then it is called "Adjustable Coilover". If your coilover cannot do either of those, meaning, it is an identical suspension as your OEM Honda ones, just with a different spring rate or shock diameter, then it is still called Coilover.

---------
Authentic vs. Replica
If a part on your car is authentic, then mentioning the word "authentic" is optional. But it is replica, please mention "replica". A replica is a direct copy of the original item.
---------
Fake
Fake means a replica with original badging designed into it. For instance, fake LV bags, fake Bride seats, fake Honda B.A.R. crew shirt... etc

Feel free to add some more. If my terms are incorrect, I apologize and please correct accordingly.
Thank you
