Frequently Asked Questions

Reach Out

  • What’s the difference between leaf springs and coil springs?

    Leaf springs are made of stacked metal strips and are typically used in the rear of utes and commercial 4WDs due to their strength and load-carrying capacity. Coil springs are helical and offer a smoother, more responsive ride, often used in the front or rear of passenger-based 4WDs. Coil spring setups are more adaptable to off-road and touring upgrades, while leaf springs excel in heavy-duty and work vehicle applications. Each has its pros and cons, and some 4WDs use a combination of both.

  • Do suspension upgrades affect my vehicle warranty?

    Suspension upgrades can affect your new vehicle warranty if not done correctly. However, if the components are ADR-compliant and installed by a licensed professional, many dealers will honour your warranty on unrelated components. Always check your manufacturer’s policy before modifying anything. Using reputable brands and keeping installation receipts can help protect you in case of warranty disputes. Some aftermarket suppliers even offer their own warranties, giving you peace of mind if you’re upgrading outside of dealer guidelines.

  • Is airbag suspension a good option for 4WDs?

    Airbag suspension can be a great addition for 4WDs that regularly tow or carry variable loads. Airbags help maintain ride height and improve stability, especially when the vehicle is heavily loaded. They’re often used alongside coil or leaf springs to fine-tune performance without needing a full suspension change. Some systems are adjustable on the fly, letting you inflate or deflate the bags depending on the terrain. However, airbags aren’t a substitute for a full suspension upgrade if your vehicle is constantly carrying extra weight.
