Question 1

Buying & Fitting Guide

Accepted Answer

There are many different types of coil springs on the market like coil-overs, helical and progressively wound springs. Each type of spring will offer different handling characteristics. Finding the correct one is most important. We recommend that front or rear coil springs be replaced in pairs to avoid an imbalance in handling. An imbalance in coil spring performance can result in a failed NCT/ MOT. Be sure to check what type of coils and specific fitment position you need before buying. Accompanying specifications can be observed below.

Question 3

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

Installing replacement coil springs on your car requires the right technique and some specialist equipment. The job is not extremely difficult, but it is risky. If you observe some sensible safety precautions, you stand a better chance of success. To remove the coil from the strut you must, above all, observe safety. The coil springs must be compressed before you undo the bolt at the top of the strut. This is one of the most dangerous parts of vehicle maintenance and the spring can uncoil and do serious harm. Use the compression brackets at 180 degrees, opposite each other on the spring and tighten them evenly with about 8 – 10 turns each before swapping. Once they have been compressed tightly, you can remove the holding bolt at the top of the strut and take the coil off.
