Worth knowing about reinforcing springs for the car

Does it make sense to install additional reinforcement springs in the car? In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about tuning with additional springs and whether it makes sense to retrofit your vehicle. For what reason are auxiliary springs actually installed in vehicles? It makes sense to install reinforcing springs in a car if it is heavily loaded on a regular basis or if it is permanently loaded by a regular weight load, such as the installation of a natural gas system or LPG system with additional weight. The installation of additional level springs can prevent the ride from deteriorating due to the higher weight load.

Effects of reinforcing springs

Additional springs prevent the vehicle from going down to the rear under heavy weight load. They prevent a limited steerability of the car and ensure a shorter braking distance. Niveaufedern also prevent the body punctures and touches the road surface, because the built-in springs can not carry the higher weight. The installation of reinforcing springs brings a loaded vehicle again significantly more grip on the road.

Reinforcing springs for standard suspension

Worth knowing about reinforcing springs for the car

If you install level springs in your vehicle, the standard built-in springs remain in the car, because the springs are additional springs, which support the series suspension with additional spring force whenever it is needed. Are level springs disturbing or hindering when the vehicle is not loaded? No, because the majority of all manufacturers of auxiliary springs offer intelligent suspension systems. If the vehicle is unloaded, the driver hardly feels any difference, except that the driving characteristics are considerably improved with additional level springs. The vehicle cushions comfortably, for example on an uneven floor surface. Reinforcement springs ensure a high level of comfort - regardless of whether the car is loaded or not.

You should pay attention to this when buying additional springs:

Purchase only reinforcing springs designed for your vehicle model. Opt for high quality springs that are a bit more expensive than competing products. You benefit from a long service life. In addition, you should make sure that the reinforcing springs for your vehicle are approved by the TÜV and thus may be used officially in road traffic.

  1. I had no idea that compression springs are used so much in cars. So e.g. For example, the reinforcement springs prevent the vehicle from sagging at the rear due to the load and also bring significantly more grip to the road with the help of the spring. That's actually very interesting.
