Selecting the correct rear spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, handling, and component longevity on your Holden Colorado 7 Wagon. You must calculate your constant load—the combined weight of all accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle including bullbars, winches, roof racks with RTT or storage, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, water tanks, recovery gear, and other permanently installed equipment.
Do NOT include occasional loads such as passengers, camping gear loaded only for trips, firewood, tools that are removed between jobs, or trailer tongue weight from towing. Selecting springs rated for occasional loads will result in excessively stiff ride quality, premature wear on shock absorbers and bushings, reduced traction on corrugations, and an uncomfortably harsh daily driving experience. If you regularly tow heavy caravans or trailers, consider pairing correctly-rated coil springs with adjustable airbag suspension which allows you to increase support only when towing without compromising unladen ride quality.
Common rear constant loads for Colorado 7 Wagons: Rear drawers and storage systems (40-80kg), dual spare wheel carriers (40-60kg), rear replacement bumpers with swing-away carriers (30-50kg), water tanks and auxiliary equipment (20-50kg), permanently mounted fridges (15-30kg), and rear recovery points and equipment storage (10-20kg).
Professional installation by a qualified automotive technician or experienced 4WD mechanic is strongly recommended for rear coil spring replacement on the Holden Colorado 7. Installation requires proper spring compressor tools, torque specifications, and safety procedures to prevent injury or component damage. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings, preventing uneven tyre wear and maintaining predictable handling characteristics.
Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle into their final operating height, during which ride quality will gradually improve as the coil seats properly and protective coatings conform to operating conditions. During this period, avoid extreme off-road conditions or maximum payload until springs have fully bedded in. If you're installing complete lift kits, consider upgrading to adjustable upper control arms which provide greater alignment adjustment range and correct suspension geometry at lifted ride heights.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's most trusted 4WD suspension brand through decades of proven performance in the harshest conditions on earth—from Cape York's bulldust to the Simpson Desert's relentless corrugations. Every Toughdog product is engineered specifically for Australian vehicles and conditions, tested extensively in real-world touring and commercial applications, and backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and local technical support. Thousands of Australian tradespeople, grey nomads, and serious four-wheel drivers rely on Toughdog suspension daily because it simply works—kilometre after kilometre, year after year.

These Toughdog rear coil springs are ideal for Holden Colorado 7 owners who have added permanent accessories and noticed rear sag, reduced handling quality, or headlight aim issues due to lowered rear ride height. They're perfect for touring families carrying permanent roof racks and drawer systems, tradespeople with constant tool and equipment loads, or anyone who wants to restore factory ride height and handling while supporting their specific accessory weight. For Colorado 7 owners who occasionally carry heavy loads or tow large caravans but don't want a permanently stiff ride, consider pairing correctly-rated coil springs with supplemental airbag suspension for the best of both worlds—comfortable daily driving with on-demand load support when you need it.

These Toughdog rear coil springs (SKU: 6021) are specifically engineered to fit Holden Colorado 7 Wagon models manufactured between 2012 and 2016. The Colorado 7 is the seven-seat SUV variant built on the Colorado ute platform, featuring coil spring rear suspension rather than leaf springs. These springs will NOT fit Colorado ute models which use leaf spring rear suspension. If you're unsure about your specific variant or year, our technical team can confirm exact fitment—simply contact us with your VIN number or build date.
These Toughdog rear coil springs are primarily designed as heavy-duty replacement springs rather than lift springs, focusing on restoring correct ride height when constant accessory loads are added to your Colorado 7. When correctly matched to your vehicle's constant load (bullbars, roof racks, drawers, etc.), they will return your vehicle to approximately factory ride height or provide 0-25mm of lift depending on the spring rate selected and your specific load. The primary benefit is maintaining proper suspension geometry and ride quality under load, not maximum lift height. If you're seeking significant lift, consider a complete suspension system with front coil springs and matched shock absorbers.
This kit includes a pair (2 pieces) of Toughdog heavy-duty rear coil springs specifically engineered for the Holden Colorado 7 Wagon rear axle. The springs feature progressive-rate design and corrosion-resistant powder coat finish with all quality documentation included. This is a springs-only kit—you will need to reuse your existing spring seats, isolators, and hardware. Shock absorbers, upper and lower spring seats, jounce bumpers, and installation hardware are not included and must be purchased separately. We recommend inspecting all related suspension components during installation and replacing worn shock absorbers, bushings, or hardware for optimal performance.
These Toughdog rear coil springs will improve your Colorado 7's ability to maintain correct ride height and reduce squat when towing, but they must be sized for your constant accessory load only—NOT for occasional towing loads. Selecting springs rated for your caravan's ball weight will result in an excessively harsh and uncomfortable ride when not towing. For the best towing solution, choose springs correctly rated for your permanent accessories, then add adjustable airbag suspension which can be inflated when towing to provide additional support and deflated for comfortable daily driving. This combination provides optimal performance in all loading conditions without compromise.
The Holden Colorado 7 features a five-link coil spring rear suspension system with upper and lower control arms (trailing arms and lateral links). For standard replacement or modest lift applications (0-25mm), factory control arms typically remain within acceptable geometry limits and don't require immediate replacement. However, if you're combining these springs with front lift components for a complete suspension system, or if your vehicle has covered significant kilometres with worn bushings, upgraded control arms with fresh bushings will optimize handling, reduce wheel alignment issues, and extend component life. Our technical team can assess your specific requirements based on your total lift height and vehicle usage.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing new rear coil springs on your Holden Colorado 7. Even though these are rear springs, changing rear ride height affects the entire vehicle's suspension geometry including rear toe, thrust angle, and the relationship between front and rear axles. Skipping alignment will result in premature and uneven tyre wear, reduced fuel economy, poor handling characteristics, and potential safety issues. A quality alignment shop with 4WD experience should check and adjust all four wheels to manufacturer specifications, accounting for any ride height changes. This typically costs $150-250 but is essential for protecting your investment in new tyres and suspension components.
Selecting the correct spring rate requires calculating your constant accessory load—the total weight of all permanently fitted equipment. Weigh or research the weight of your bullbar, roof rack with roof-top tent or boxes, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range tanks, and recovery gear that stays on the vehicle permanently. Add these weights together for your total constant load. Do NOT include passengers, camping gear that gets removed, or trailer tongue weight—these are occasional loads. Contact our team with your constant load figure (in kilograms) and we'll recommend the appropriate spring rate. Installing springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in harsh ride quality, reduced traction, and accelerated wear on shock absorbers and other components.
These Toughdog rear coil springs provide 0-25mm of additional ride height when correctly matched to your constant load, which offers minimal additional tyre clearance compared to factory specifications. The Holden Colorado 7 can typically accommodate up to 265/65R17 or 265/70R17 tyres with mild suspension lift and minor trimming, representing approximately a 10-20mm increase over common factory sizes. Tyre clearance is also affected by wheel offset, tyre brand (some brands run larger than their stated size), and suspension compression during off-road articulation. If you're planning significantly larger tyres, you'll need a complete lift kit including front coil springs to achieve balanced lift front and rear, along with potential modifications to fender liners and body mounts.
Toughdog rear coil springs are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. The specific warranty period and terms are detailed in the documentation included with your springs—typically this ranges from 12 months to limited lifetime depending on the product series and application. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proper spring rate selection for your vehicle's actual constant load, and normal use conditions. Warranty does not cover springs damaged by overloading beyond their rated capacity, collision damage, improper installation, or use in modified vehicles outside specifications. Keep your proof of purchase and installation records to facilitate any warranty claims.
When correctly matched to your Colorado 7's actual constant accessory load, these Toughdog rear coil springs deliver excellent daily driving comfort that meets or exceeds factory ride quality. Toughdog's progressive-rate design provides soft initial compression for comfortable unladen driving, gradually stiffening as load increases to prevent bottoming and maintain control. The key to comfortable daily driving is honest spring rate selection—choose springs for your permanent accessories only, not occasional loads or maximum towing capacity. Many Colorado 7 owners report improved ride quality compared to factory springs that have sagged over time, with better body control over corrugations and improved stability when loaded. For ultimate versatility, pair correctly-rated coil springs with adjustable airbags for excellent daily comfort plus on-demand support when needed.
