Kayaba has launched an all new European catalogue for 2005 for its range of K-Flex replacement coil springs.

The comprehensive 424 page catalogue has full details of all KYB K-Flex branded coil springs and includes applications for cars and car derived vans (CDVs) and light commercial vehicles (LCVs).

There are over 3,000 different part number covering a vast range of vehicles, from a 1972 Alfasud to a 2005 Volvo XC90, or a Ford Transit to a 4.2 V8 Range Rover.

Coil springs are a vital part of a vehicle's ride control and are responsible for comfort and ride height. Kayaba recommends that coil springs are replaced every four years or 50,000 miles as general wear and tear can lead to reduced performance and safety. Kayaba supplies several types of coil springs, including taper wire miniblock springs (the same as OE) where the wire diameter reduces in size towards the ends of the spring.

The taper wire technology ensures the spring increases its resistance as it is compressed and the compact design guarantees noiseless operation.

KYB K-Flex replacement coil springs are manufactured to original equipment specification, including tapered wire and miniblock designs - as used by Audi, BMW, Renault, Vauxhall/Opel and Volkswagen - and where possible should be installed with KYB shock absorbers, mounting and protection kits.
