HELPER AND REINFORCED SPRINGS:
VB-COILSPRING - REAR AXLE

Helper and reinforced springs are suspension systems that support or reinforce the existing suspension system in order to correct a suspension problem. Our helper and reinforced springs - also called the VB-CoilSpring - are either fitted to the existing leaf suspension/coil spring suspension or they replace the original coil spring suspension. A helper spring or replacement spring is used on vehicles that already have coil spring suspension. Helper springs are fitted on vehicles with leaf suspension. Reinforced springs will normally ensure that the vehicle returns to its original or a higher ride height,

which increases spring travel and thus improves stability and, to some extent, comfort levels.

VB-CoilSprings are a good option for vehicles that are always (heavily) laden and that have to carry variable loads every once in a while. This is because the reinforcement to the spring force is permanent and cannot be adjusted. The two systems are available for both the front and rear axle.

REPLACEMENT SPRING

As the name suggests, the original coil spring is removed and replaced by a replacement spring, i.e. by a reinforced version.

Reinforced springs will normally ensure that the vehicle returns to its original or a higher ride height, which increases spring travel and thus improves stability and, to some extent, comfort levels.

HELPER SPRING

The original suspension is retained when a helper spring is fitted. The helper spring is installed alongside the original. Installing the helper spring reinforces the original suspension. Helper springs will normally ensure that the vehicle returns to its original or higher ride height, which increases spring travel and thus improves stability and, to some extent, comfort levels.
