Suspension springs
With almost 100,000 vehicle applications, we offer the most comprehensive range of SPIDAN coil springs for European and non-European passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
Suspension springs
Your leading supplier for suspension springs
SPIDAN coil springs are manufactured in OE factories and therefore match the original specifications of the vehicle manufacturers. Shape, dimensions and spring rate are identical to those of the original springs.
Springs that perfectly fit
Modern CNC manufacture guarantees a consistently high-quality product and a perfect fit in the OE spring seats.
SPIDAN coil-springs are supplied with isolator sleeves when these are specified by the vehicle manufacturer. These prevent damage to the spring surface coating and ensure gentle operation.
Taper wire springs
GKN Automotive is one of very few aftermarket coil spring suppliers that has access to the technology required to manufacture coil-springs from inconstant wire.
In these taper wire springs the wire diameter reduces towards the spring ends. Under normal load and road conditions these weaker end coils guarantee a comfortable ride. Larger deflections that may result from heavier vehicle loads or worse road conditions activate the rest of the spring which initiates stable roadholding.
High technology products
Spring material: only highest quality chrome vanadium and silicon chrome alloy steels are used.
Shot peening: carefully controlled shot peening process significantly increases the fatigue life of the spring.
Corrosion protection: phosphate coating to protect the spring steel from corrosion.
Surface coating: tough epoxy powder coating protects the underlying spring steel from mechanical damage.
An unsurpassed product selection
Minibloc springs
The barrel-shaped minibloc springs are always manufactured from tapered wire. The end coils are designed to compress without coil-to-coil contact, so these springs are extremely compact and completely noiseless in operation.
Cylindrical springs
Conventional, cylindrical springs featuring a linear spring rate.
Side load springs
Through the curvature, the spring generates a lateral force. This improves the shock absorber's response behaviour and thus driving comfort. The curved design guarantees good vehicle steering even at low speeds.
