What is a coil suspension spring?
Coil suspension springs provides the link between the chassis and the body of the vehicle. Coil springs provide a number of different essential functions such as dictating the ride height of the vehicle and they help to soften the shocks and bumps from the road surface. Springs affect the handling of the vehicle and as such are an important safely component.
There are different types of springs as follows:
Coil springs (constant wire diameter - same thickness of wire from end to end - visual inspection required)

A cars suspension is one of the components that is often upgraded at the factory at the time of manufacturer. It is not always easy to tell if your vehicle has received an upgrade or which upgrade it is. When looking to replace the springs it is important to note if your vehicle has:
