Coil Over Barrel Springs
What are Coil Over Barrel Springs?
Landrum Coil Over Barrel Springs avoid the bending and bowing issues associated with long length coil over springs.
- Coil Over Barrel Springs use a barrel shape design to prevent bowing when they’re compressed. Thereby maintaining spring performance and avoiding contact with the shock.
- High travel coil over springs with lengths more than four times their width tend to bow when compressed.
- The longer the spring the more it can bow, causing spring rate inconsistency and damage to shocks if contact is made.
How Do Coil Over Barrel Springs Prevent Bowing?
- The barrel shape of our Coil Over Barrel Springs allows even stress distribution across the length of the spring, which provides lateral stability. Making the springs less prone to bending or bowing sideways during compression.
What Are the Advantages of Coil Over Barrel Springs?
- Provide more consistent and controlled weight transfer during cornering and acceleration. Keeping tires in the best contact with the surface.
- Increased spring travel before coil bind.
- Lateral stability keeps the spring properly seated.
- Avoiding bending or bowing keeps the spring from rubbing against the shock body, which could damage the threads of the shock adjusting perch.
- The barrel shape allows for efficient use of materials.
- By tapering the spring, it can be designed to be both lightweight and structurally sound.
Landrum Materials and Engineering
- Manufactured with only the best grade of high tensile chrome silicon alloy steel for strength, durability, and lightness.
- Designed using the latest spring design software and state-of-the-art engineering technology.
Landrum Quality Control Processes
- Tensile and compressive stiffness of the wire is checked before the coiling process.
- Springs undergo an intensive heat and press process.
- Each spring is individually tested for quality and consistent performance.
Dyno Sheet
- Every Landrum coil over spring comes with a dyno sheet that shows the dynamic rate and force output of the spring in 0.200” increments. This allows you to know exactly what the spring rate is and means when you change a spring, you know exactly what change is being made. No other manufacturer does this.

What Makes Landrum Coilover Springs Different?
Landrum Coilover Springs are engineered for circle track, drag racing, off-road, street performance, and hot rod applications. Manufactured from high-tensile chrome silicon steel, individually dyno tested, and held to within ±2% of specification, they deliver accurate spring rates, consistent handling, predictable chassis response, and long service life.
What are High Travel Coilover Springs?
- High travel springs are designed to compress and extend further than standard springs.
- This extra travel allows for better vehicle handling and increased stability over rough terrain or during extreme driving conditions.
- Landrum springs are designed to provide consistent performance throughout their range of travel.
How Does the Material Used for Landrum Coilover Springs Affect Performance and Longevity?
- Landrum springs are manufactured with the highest-quality Chrome Silicon steel wire, which is known for its excellent fatigue resistance and high strength.
- This material offers better consistency over time, meaning the spring will continue to perform as designed, even after repeated compression and extension.
- Using Chrome Silicon steel wire ensures Landrum springs have a long service life.
What Keeps Landrum Coilover Springs from Taking a Set?
- Designed using the latest coil spring design software and state-of-the-art spring engineering methods.
- Every spring is preset to solid height during manufacturing, allowing it to be compressed to solid without taking a set and providing consistent high performance throughout its range of travel.
- Manufacturing to incredibly precise manufacturing tolerances, and using an intensive heat and press process, we ensure all our springs perform exactly as they were originally engineered.
How Do We Prove the Performance of Our Springs?
- Each Landrum spring is individually tested for quality and consistent performance.
- Every spring we manufacture must be within 2% of specification or it is scrapped. We prove it with a dyno sheet provided with each spring showing its performance as it is compressed. No other racing spring manufacturer does this.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coil Over Springs
Find answers to common questions about coil over spring selection, spring rate accuracy, free-height loss, spring life, and other performance-related topics.
How do I find the coil over spring I need?
Use the spring selector on this page to find coilover springs by inside diameter (ID), free length, and spring rate.
How do I know if my coil over spring rate is accurate?
Spring rate accuracy can be verified with a spring dyno. Because consistent performance depends on accurate spring rates, every Landrum coil over Spring is individually tested to be within ±2% of its specified rate before shipment. A dyno sheet is included with each spring to verify its measured performance throughout the spring’s range of travel.
Can Coil Over Springs Lose Free Height?
Yes, coil over springs can lose free height, also known as taking a set, when the spring steel experiences permanent deformation from stress, fatigue, or excessive loading. Common causes include:
- Material fatigue from repeated compression cycles
- Excessive loads that overstress the spring
- Frequent bottoming out or coil bind
- Poor-quality materials or manufacturing processes
To help prevent free-height loss, Landrum Coilover Springs are manufactured from high-tensile chrome silicon steel and preset during manufacturing. Presetting involves compressing the spring beyond its normal operating range to remove any initial set in the steel, helping maintain free height and allowing the springs to run at coil bind without taking a set.
How Often Should Coil Over Springs Be Replaced?
If the spring is designed and made with the proper amount of stress, as Landrum Springs are, it will last a long time without failure. Our opinion is that any spring should be replaced after 50-70 races.

Landrum Performance Conical Coil Over Springs taper from a 5.0” OD to a 2.5” ID to prevent bowing that can occur with long and slender coil over springs. Using the proper hardware, the high travel, low-rate conical spring can be used as coil-over springs or conventional mount springs.
Durable and consistent Landrum Performance conical coil springs are designed for circle track, dirt late model, and pavement late model cars.
Advantages of Conical Coil Over Springs
- The conical spring shape provides greater lateral stability to avoid lateral deflection.
- Conical coil springs allow more precise control of spring deflection.
- When compressed the tapered spring coils fit into the other (coil telescoping). This decreases solid height at full compression to provide a higher range of travel.
- The linear spring rate from free length to solid height provides a more usable range of deflection.
- Spring can be flipped to use the 2.5″ OD end where the 5″ OD end won’t fit
- Lighter weight than non-tapered suspension springs.
Landrum Quality
- Produced with the highest quality US made High Tensile Chrome Silicon wire.
- Manufactured to the tightest tolerances in the industry and guaranteed to hold their tolerance to 2%. We prove it with a dyno sheet included with each spring.

Landrum Progressive Coil Over Springs provide the reliable and consistent high performance you need to win.
What Are Progressive Coil Over Springs?
Progressive springs provide a varying spring rate throughout their range of travel. The initial spring rate is low but progressively increases as the spring is compressed. The springs are commonly used in circle track racing applications to help control body roll when cornering.
How Do Progressive Rate Coil Over Springs Work?
Progressive rate coil over springs are produced with varying coil spacing. At one end of the spring the coils are narrow spaced and as the coils progress to the other end of the spring the spacing becomes wider.
When the spring is minimally compressed all coils of the spring are active and a lower spring rate is in effect. As the spring is further compressed, such as when a car takes a set as it enters a corner, the narrow-spaced coils collapse on top of each other until they touch, which is also known as “going solid”. When this happens the number of active coils of the spring is reduced, which results in a higher spring rate.
What Type of Steel is Used for Progressive Coil Over Springs?
We manufacture our progressive coil over springs using the highest quality US made High Tensile Chrome Silicon Alloy Steel for strength, reliability, and to maintain their original high-performance characteristics after repeated use.
