Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance, ride comfort and component longevity. Your spring rate should be based on your constant load — accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your Colorado, NOT occasional loads like camping gear or trailers. Common front constant loads include bull bars (30-60kg), winches (30-40kg), heavy-duty bumpers, dual battery systems, upgraded intercoolers, and auxiliary lighting. Add the total weight of all permanently fitted front accessories, then select the appropriate spring rate at checkout. Occasional loads such as camping equipment, toolboxes removed between trips, and towing weights should NOT be factored into your spring rate selection — over-springing causes harsh ride quality and accelerated wear on bushings, ball joints and shock absorbers.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced 4WD workshop is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications and safety compliance. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installing coil springs — changes in ride height alter suspension geometry, affecting toe, camber and caster settings which impact tyre wear and handling. A 500km break-in period is recommended after installation to allow springs to settle to their final ride height — avoid maximum loads during this period. For lifts exceeding 30mm or vehicles with heavy constant front loads, pairing these springs with upgraded control arms will restore correct suspension geometry and improve ball joint angles for extended component life.

Explore the complete Toughdog suspension range for matched shock absorbers, leaf springs and complete lift kits.
These Toughdog front coil springs are ideal for Holden Colorado RG owners who've added front accessories and noticed sagging ride height, reduced steering response or harsh ride quality from worn factory springs. They're perfect for tradespeople carrying permanent work equipment, touring enthusiasts with bull bars and winches, and anyone seeking to restore factory ride height or achieve a modest lift. If you regularly tow heavy caravans or carry significant rear loads, consider complementing these front springs with airbag suspension in the rear for on-demand load leveling and improved towing stability.
All Toughdog suspension components are Australian stock with fast dispatch Australia-wide. Our suspension specialists are available to help you select the correct spring rate for your specific Holden Colorado RG setup — just reach out before ordering if you're unsure. Whether you're building a complete touring setup or simply replacing worn springs, browse our full range of lift kits and suspension components to transform your Colorado's capability and comfort.
These Toughdog front coil springs are designed specifically for Holden Colorado RG models from 2012 onwards, including both early and facelifted versions. They fit all 4WD configurations of the RG series. To confirm fitment for your specific year and variant, use our parts finder tool or contact our team with your VIN number. We'll verify compatibility and recommend the correct spring rate based on your constant accessory load.
Lift height varies based on the spring rate you select and your vehicle's current constant load. These springs are primarily designed to restore sagging factory ride height or provide up to 40mm of front lift when paired with appropriate rear springs. The actual lift achieved depends on your accessory weight — heavier bull bars and winches will compress springs more than lighter setups. For accurate lift expectations based on your specific configuration, contact our suspension experts who can recommend the ideal spring rate.
This kit includes a pair (2 pieces) of Toughdog front coil springs precision-rated for Holden Colorado RG 2012+. The springs feature high-tensile steel construction with corrosion-resistant coating. Shock absorbers, spring seats, mounting hardware and installation components are sold separately. You'll use your existing shock absorbers unless upgrading to a complete lift kit. If you need matched shocks or complete suspension packages, browse our Toughdog range or contact us for package pricing.
Yes, when correctly rated for your constant front load, these Toughdog springs improve front-end stability during towing by reducing nose-dive under braking and maintaining level vehicle stance. However, towing weight itself should NOT be factored into your spring rate selection — only permanent front accessories count. For optimal towing performance, pair these front springs with appropriate rear suspension upgrades such as heavy-duty rear springs or airbag suspension for load-leveling capability. This combination delivers superior towing stability and comfort.
Control arm upgrades are recommended but not always essential — it depends on your total lift height and intended use. For lifts up to 30mm or vehicles with lighter accessory loads, factory control arms typically suffice. For lifts exceeding 30mm or heavy constant loads (bull bar, winch, heavy bumper), upgraded control arms restore correct suspension geometry, improve ball joint angles and extend component life. Our team can assess your specific setup and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your Colorado RG build.
Yes, professional wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing new coil springs on your Holden Colorado. Any change in ride height alters suspension geometry, affecting toe, camber and caster angles which directly impact steering response, tyre wear and vehicle stability. Skipping alignment will result in premature tyre wear, poor handling and potentially unsafe driving characteristics. Most reputable 4WD workshops include alignment in their installation service. Budget for alignment as part of your total installation cost.
Yes — Toughdog offers multiple spring rate options to match your specific constant accessory load. During checkout, you'll select your spring rate based on the total weight of permanently fitted front accessories (bull bar, winch, heavy bumper, etc.). It's critical to select only your constant load — NOT occasional gear or towing weights. Over-springing (selecting too heavy a rate) causes harsh ride quality and accelerated wear on other suspension components. Our team can help calculate your constant load and recommend the optimal spring rate for your Colorado's configuration.
Tyre fitment depends on your total lift height, wheel offset and tyre dimensions. These front springs alone provide up to 40mm of lift when combined with matching rear springs, which may accommodate slightly larger tyres than stock. However, comprehensive clearance depends on your complete suspension setup, including shock absorbers and any body modifications. For lifts over 50mm or significantly larger tyres (33" and above), you may need additional modifications such as diff drops, extended brake lines or body trimming. Contact us to discuss your target tyre size and we'll advise on necessary components.
