Coil Springs

Coil Springs support the vehicle’s weight, set ride height and work with shock absorbers or struts to control suspension movement. They are replaced for many reasons, including sagging factory springs, broken springs, lowered ride height, raised 4WD setups, towing requirements, load carrying or handling upgrades.

Brands such as King Springs, Eibach, Tough Dog and Superior Engineering are commonly associated with spring and suspension applications. The correct spring depends on the vehicle, axle position, ride height target, accessories fitted and how the vehicle is used.

Matching Springs to the Vehicle and Use

A standard replacement spring may be suitable when the goal is to restore factory ride height and comfort. Lowered springs may suit street and performance vehicles, while raised or heavy-duty springs may suit 4WDs, touring setups, vehicles with bull bars or vehicles that regularly carry extra weight.

Spring choice should also be considered with the rest of the suspension setup. Shocks, struts, bump stops, alignment and added vehicle weight can all affect the final ride height and handling result.

Common Signs You May Need Coil Springs

• Sagging ride height: The vehicle sits lower than expected.
• Uneven stance: One corner or side sits differently to the others.
• Broken spring: A cracked or snapped coil may be visible during inspection.
• Poor handling: The vehicle feels unsettled over bumps or through corners.
• Added weight: Bull bars, winches, drawers or towing loads may require a different spring.
• Ride height change: Lowering or lifting the vehicle requires springs matched to the intended setup.
• Suspension refresh: Springs are often checked when shocks, struts or mounts are being replaced.

Choosing the Right Coil Springs

The easiest way to find the right coil springs is to use our simple rego finder or manually select your vehicle. This helps narrow the product list to springs suited to your vehicle, so you are not sorting through options that may not match your model, axle position, ride height or suspension setup. Always check the product page for any specific notes.

When comparing suitable options, consider the ride height target, regular load, accessories fitted and how the vehicle is driven. The best coil spring choice should deliver the ride height, load support and handling behaviour you want without being mismatched to the vehicle.
