Kilen launch 2015 coil springs catalogue
Whilst the vast majority of OE coil springs are made from parallel spring wire, which maintains a constant thickness throughout the length of the spring, a small number of OE producers employ tapered wire springs on a limited and declining number of applications in order to achieve a slight weight saving.
Kilen parallel wire designs match the spring rate and vehicle-handling characteristics of the original tapered wire spring, and provide the additional benefit of lower stress levels at critical points within the spring, making premature failure less likely. Some installers prefer to fit identical-looking replacements however, and Kilen are happy to offer a choice: parallel wire for durability with a 3-year warranty or tapered wire for the OE look with a 2-year warranty.
Kilen springs are guaranteed to match or exceed OE quality. Kilen are certified to ISO/TS16949, ISO9001, and ISO14001 for both quality and environment, ensuring customers receive only the very best products
The Kilen coil spring range is regularly reviewed, and any new parts or catalogue amendments are communicated every few months. Electronic catalogues are updated automatically to ensure Kilen customers have access to the newest springs in the range as quickly as possible – reducing the need to use expensive OE springs, even on more modern vehicles.
Kilen’ philosophy is to produce and maintain the complete range of automotive springs, with high availability, short delivery times, and competitive prices. The 2015 Kilen coil spring catalogue, featuring over 10,000 applications, is now available.
