Passenger Cars - Monroe Springs

With over 3,000 items covering 97% of all cars currently circulating on European roads, Monroe® Springs includes high-tech coil spring types such as the banana, taper-wire, and mini-block springs.

Banana springs apply radial force due to their special shape and ensure optimal control of the vehicle at all speeds. Unlike conventional coil spring types, in taper wire springs, the wire diameter varies in size to achieve progressive spring rate. As a result, the spring rate increases in proportion to the spring compression rate.

Monroe^® taper wire springs are fitted with protective sleeves used to avoid wear due to coils touching each other when the spring is compressed.

Mini-block springs are an advanced development of the taper-wire type: they have a rugby ball shape, offer longer life, less noise and compact dimensions. In addition, mini-block spring coils compress perfectly without touching. These increasingly popular springs are fitted only on rear axles, therefore they also improve boot space. Mini-block springs are included in the original equipment of popular car models such as the Audi A3 and A6, BMW 3-series, Opel Zafira, VW Golf IV and Passat.
