What springs are best for VAZ 2114 and 2115? We select options for personal comfort

Many people are interested in which springs are best for VAZ 2114 and 2115. After all, there are quite a lot of offers on the market. At the same time, drivers do not always know what the features of each model are. This is a consequence of the high reliability of this suspension element. Stock springs can easily last 100-150 thousand kilometers. In this regard, not every owner in practice is faced with the need for replacement. Sometimes, people decide to change the characteristics of their original chassis. In this case, you also have to select other springs. The option should be selected based on your needs, as well as operating features.

How to lower a car correctly

Air suspension. The most expensive way to lower or raise a car at will. I won’t dwell on it; you can get acquainted with such an adjustable suspension on the VAZ in this article.

Symptoms of a problem

Which springs are better to install on VAZ 2114 and 2115 in case of malfunction. First you need to decide in what cases this is required. The most common reason for replacement is breakdowns. The malfunction can be identified by the following signs:

The machine is skewed in any direction. Often the cause is broken turns;

• Upon inspection, mechanical damage is visible;
• The car rocks, and quite sharply.

In case of any such problem, it is necessary to promptly replace the part. If this is not done, you will have problems driving the car. Also, do not forget to change the springs in pairs. When installing new springs from another manufacturer, it is recommended to do this in a circle.

Most often, drivers do not bother with the selection of parts and simply buy ordinary stock spare parts. Overall, this is a good option. They last quite a long time and cost little. But there is one caveat here. The original springs are quite soft, which makes the car not very stable when cornering. This doesn't suit speed lovers too much. Also, original parts don't handle a full vehicle load very well.

In this case, they sag. If you often carry large groups or the trunk is constantly loaded, then it is better to choose something more rigid.

Content

Fans of tuning can be divided into two categories: those who modify surfaces to add individuality and those who are more interested in the driving performance of the car. An important element that determines the handling characteristics of a car is the suspension. It is needed in order to soften impacts on the body when driving over uneven surfaces.

Sidebar: Important: The quality of the suspension determines the comfort of being in the car, as well as the accuracy of control, how well the car holds the road and overcomes bumps and potholes in the roadway.

The above information determines that all the characteristics of the road surface are first transmitted to the suspension, and then reflected in the comfort in the cabin. If this structural element does not cope well with its tasks, then the body and other elements will very often fail. That is why tuning the VAZ 2109 suspension is the most relevant modernization of a car in Russia, since the quality of the road surface is always poor.

Sports springs

This is not a completely correct name. In fact, these are quite ordinary springs, but with more reliable characteristics. These parts are produced by several companies specializing in the creation of spare parts for tuning domestic cars. Among these parts, you can select the most suitable ones, both in terms of rigidity and other characteristics. Let's look at the most famous brands:

When choosing springs, pay attention to their stiffness. For speed lovers, it is better to select parts with the highest rigidity. It is also advisable to install such spirals in case of frequent transportation of goods.

Class “A” and “B” - are the differences significant?

For many car enthusiasts, spring stiffness by color is equivalent to stiffness by class. Class “A”, regardless of color, is more stringent than class “B”. In fact, this is not an entirely true statement. Class “A” is really more suitable for cars that are often used under high load. But the difference here is quite small - about 25 kg. Despite the mandatory application of markings, there are still samples on which it is absent. In this case, even if the color coding of the elements is identical, it is better to refuse to purchase and use them.

Many motorists underestimate the importance of high-quality springs, especially during intensive use of the car. It’s not for nothing that the springs are marked by color - this makes it much easier for a novice driver who is replacing this element with his own hands for the first time. Purchasing products of appropriate quality, albeit at a higher price, will inevitably pay off with a softer ride, less wear and tear on the car, and less stress on the driver himself. It has been scientifically proven that high vibration loads on a person lead to rapid fatigue and decreased concentration when moving.

The best springs for a VAZ

When the rear of the car begins to sag significantly, the suspension springs need to be replaced. The “fatigue” of this part creates many inconveniences:

1. the car's ground clearance decreases, which is why the muffler and rear end hit bumps on the roads and cling to the asphalt;
2. Rubber friction occurs in the rear wheel arches;
3. shock absorbers wear out more, which leads to damage to other parts of the suspension and body;
4. the machine warps to one side (usually due to broken coils); the car sways, often violently.

The quality of the springs determines the smoothness of the ride, its softness, and the handling characteristics.

Replacing this part is necessary when car owners want to transport a heavier load; some increase the speed characteristics of the car in this way. Typically, the service life of springs is 5–10 years. However, on Russian off-road conditions they “get tired” quite quickly, reducing the period of their high-quality functioning to 3 years.

In addition, the springs are constantly exposed to impacts from small stones, the surface is damaged, moisture gets there and, naturally, corrosion begins. Therefore, it is better to replace them regularly. For example, on the VAZ 2107 it is recommended to change them every 30 thousand kilometers.

A few important tips when searching for the right products

You can always find tips to help you cope with problems. There are several questions from Russian car enthusiasts that have answers. For example, the question is VAZ 2114 – what should I buy? Answer: It all depends on where the machine is used. If it is mainly used for off-road use, then it is better to take the 2112 model as it can increase the ground clearance.

Actually, when it comes to springs for cars, there are quite a few different options. Therefore, it is best to first seek advice from an intelligent and experienced specialist before making a replacement.

Selection of springs VAZ 2114

Properties of suspension springs

When torsion bars on vehicles were replaced with springs, handling improved and suspensions became more convenient to maintain. Springs maintain the vehicle's ground clearance, reducing vibrations and shocks while the vehicle is moving.

To make the ride comfortable, you need to choose the right parts. If the technical characteristics are unsuitable, then the positive properties of the suspension will be reduced to zero. Therefore, it is important to consider the following parameters:

1. diameter - its increase affects rigidity;
2. number of turns - as the number increases, the rigidity decreases;
3. form.

Often, car owners strive to install stiffer parts in the suspension. This helps to increase the sensitivity of the steering wheel to the driver's control, but the grip on the road deteriorates.

Fans of a sporty driving style believe that, on the contrary, it is better to install parts with reduced rigidity. However, this suspension can create problems on country roads.

Let's take a closer look at which springs are best installed on a VAZ.

Anti-roll bar

While driving, the suspension is subject to different influences. In many cases, the effectiveness of voltage suppression has a direct impact on the vehicle's handling and the comfort of staying in it. One of the important elements of the system is the anti-roll bar. This suspension element is responsible for ensuring that the car does not roll too much when turning at high speed. Modern stabilizer systems are quite complex, as they adjust the position of the body depending on the steering angle and speed.

If the stabilizer malfunctions or is ineffective, the following problems may occur:

1. When turning at high speed, the car may lean heavily to one side. Such a displacement of the body leads to a redistribution of the center of gravity. As a result, the side that is on the inside of the turning radius loses traction. If this suspension element malfunctions and when turning at high speed, there is a possibility of loss of control and vehicle rollover. 2. If the stabilizer does not work correctly, there is a possibility that the tires will touch the arch protection. In such a case, the tires may be damaged, which will also lead to loss of controllability and the inability to continue driving. 3. When turning sharply at low speed, a non-functioning stabilizer will cause the body to sway. If the stabilizer works correctly, the vehicle's stability returns almost instantly.

Correspondence of spring markings to the model

When installing springs on a VAZ suspension, it is advisable to ensure their compliance.

• 2101 install on rear-wheel drive sedans.
• 21012 is tougher, made from a larger diameter rod. Installed on a VAZ with left-hand drive, with special equipment, when a front suspension with increased energy intensity is needed.
• 2102 are installed on station wagons VAZ-2102, 21014. Their length is increased by 21 mm compared to 2101, so they are installed on sedans only when you often have to drive on country roads so as not to hit bumps - when installing 2102, the ground clearance under body They cannot be used to increase the load capacity, since they inevitably lead to premature destruction of the body.
• 2108 is installed on all front-wheel drive models, except for modifications with a 16-valve engine and Oka. By the way, in the markets they often deceive owners of VAZ-21099 sedans by offering to purchase scarce “99 springs”. In fact, there are ordinary “eighths” there, and “99ths” do not exist at all.
• 2110 European ones are installed on the rear suspensions of VAZ 21102-21104, 2112, 2114, on the front and rear suspensions 21122 and 21124. The European version is created for cars intended for export. The ground clearance here is reduced by 20 mm, the compliance of the springs is reduced in order to increase their stability at high speed when turning. The cross-country ability of vehicles on off-road and dirt roads is significantly deteriorated.
• 2111 are installed on the rear suspensions of VAZ 2111 and 2113.
• 2112 are installed on the front suspensions of VAZ 21103, 2112, 21113.
• 2121 is used on all-wheel drive models, except Oka.

alexx600oo › Blog › My hobby. Budget landing 2114 “super car”.

Hi all. Today after work a client arrived to plant another Vase. I have no desire to discuss the very necessity and meaning of planting, because... this will be a shit topic. But personally, I am FOR adequate planting of the VAZ! For me there are only advantages from it.

I decided to try to capture the whole action and reflect the process in detail. Maybe it would be better to create an entry in the b/w of my ex 08, but still this entry does not quite apply to her.

So, what we have: a VAZ 2114 with an engine and suspension from Priora. I’m not a fan of experiments, so I told the person in advance about the need to purchase lowering front springs. For the life of me, I don’t understand the heated or sawn front Prior springs. Let's start to sort it out.

We remove the wheel. Remove the tip pin. I use a puller, but many people make do with a crowbar and a hammer.

Next, we take out the brake hose from the clamp on the rack and unscrew and remove the bolts responsible for adjusting the camber.

Then unscrew the three nuts under the hood that secure the support to the body.

That's it, the rack has been removed and is ready for further disassembly. It is advisable to compress the spring with special ties, but I have already gotten used to doing this without them.

We install “low springs” instead of the drain and assemble everything in the reverse order, without using zip ties.

Next, fix the strut to the body using the support nuts. We insert the camber adjustment bolts, insert the brake hose into the groove and also tighten and cotter the tip pin.

The second side runs in the same direction.

Now I want to talk separately about camber and toe-in. I often come across posts, especially on VK, that people park their cars without doing a wheel alignment. I completely disagree with this, because... the position of the body relative to the ground changes, the length of the lever remains unchanged, therefore the camber goes away. And if the camber goes away, then the toe-in is correspondingly lost, and it is precisely because of it that it begins to “eat” rubber. In general, this is a matter for everyone - I expressed my position.

I always make the camber a little negative on the PP, because... this has a positive effect on handling and does not harm the tires.

With the rear axle, everything is simpler: unscrew the top nut in the cup under the shelf, then hang the car and unscrew the bottom bolt securing the strut in the beam. I don’t see any reason to set the rear springs to lower ones, because... 99% of cars are used for civilian purposes and there is no smell of real sport. Yes, and underestimation of the global is not usually planned. Therefore, we simply saw off the required number of turns with a grinder. If you don’t agree, for God’s sake, buy ready-made products, I don’t mind at all.

Assembly should be carried out slowly, because

It’s important not to forget any rubber bands. Otherwise you will have to disassemble everything again

The rubber on the body must be removed and installed on the spring, because This will make it easier to put it in place.

That's basically it. The whole process takes me from 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the age of the car.

Important details: — do not forget to insert the brake hose into the groove; - use an angle grinder with glasses; - lubricate the bolts that adjust the camber, this will greatly simplify their removal in the future and insert these bolts with the head forward, and not vice versa, because this simplifies camber adjustment.

I really hope that this post will encourage someone to do their own repairs, because... it really brings you closer to the car. ))) I was glad to help, if I helped of course.

Choice depending on manufacturer

Often, when parts break down, drivers try to buy original factory parts as replacements, not wanting to experiment. However, there is a decent choice from other manufacturers, whose products are sometimes no worse than the original ones.

There is a large assortment for different brands of cars, and parts are also manufactured in any configuration according to customer drawings.

The quality is satisfactory, but, according to some car enthusiasts, after 2 years they begin to sag, losing rigidity. In total, about 500 types of springs are manufactured under this brand for any brand of car; there are standard, reinforced and lowered springs. Clearance kits with increased ground clearance are also available.

Technospring

Good quality for little money. They lose rigidity over time, but do not sag. Quite good as a budget option.

Very durable, no sagging. They have a stiffness adjustment directly on the car, done with a special thumb under the hood.

High-quality, very durable, practically do not “age” - do not sag, do not lose rigidity. There is no roll when turning. But they cost one and a half times more than Koni.

Products of the SS20 brand undergo mandatory testing at test benches, after which they are selected in pairs with similar characteristics. This check ensures, according to the manufacturer, 100 percent product quality. A large assortment allows you to choose the right characteristics depending on your driving style and operating conditions. There are 3 options available:

1. hot coiling of standard height with linear compression characteristic;
2. cold coiling of standard height with linear and progressive compression characteristics;
3. cold coils are lowered, with a progressive compression characteristic.

Alternative original springs from Kilen are of the highest quality. The service life, as the manufacturers claim, is twice as long as the original VAZ products.

Excellent springs made from special alloys, coated with epoxy coating to increase service life.

Installation Tips

• Is it possible to install parts of different classes?

Remember that the springs on the suspension must be of the same class. Let’s say you installed A-class parts on the front suspension, which means you also need to install “A” class on the rear suspension.

If a similar class is not available for the rear suspension, then in exceptional cases class “B” is assigned to the rear suspension.

If B-class springs are installed on the front suspension, then class “A” springs cannot be installed on the rear suspension.

Install suspensions of the same class on the left and right sides of the same axle.

• What springs are better to install on a VAZ 2107?

Before changing parts, make sure that it is really necessary. You can check it in the following way: standing at the front of the VAZ 2107, swing the body down. If it quickly rises to its original position, there is no need to replace the springs; they are in good condition. If the body does not rise and continues to sway, then replacement is necessary. In the same way you can check the rear suspension of the VAZ 2107.

To improve the aerodynamics of the VAZ 2107 and improve the sensitivity of the steering wheel, it is recommended to install stiffer springs than the original ones. You can buy those designed for VAZ 2104, cut off one turn. It is imperative that on a VAZ 2107 you need to change two at the same time, otherwise the car will lose stability on the roads.

It is not recommended to install reinforced rubber gaskets on 2107, because the spring will break through.

• Will Niva springs fit on a VAZ 2107?

If you want to make a sports tuning on the VAZ-2107, the suspension is made more rigid, this improves the quality of handling without reducing the level of comfort.

The rear springs are stiffer than the front ones. The factory ones are too soft, and the car quickly loses control, the bottom gets scratched on the road surface. To increase the stiffness of the suspension, it is recommended to install Niva springs on the VAZ 2107.

• What springs are better to install on a VAZ 2110?

On the VAZ 2110, the front spring often breaks due to poor quality roads, so it needs to be replaced. Moreover, you can do this yourself, without contacting a car service. All that remains is to find out what is best to choose from the range offered for the 2110.

On the front suspension of the VAZ-2110, as standard, 2108 springs are installed, on the rear suspension - 2110. In the absence of original parts, car enthusiasts are advised to install SS20 highway, the car rides smoothly and is stable when cornering.

• What springs are best to put on a Priora?

If the springs on the Priora have sagged, it is recommended to install new original ones from VAZ. Choose only the class depending on the goals of your tuning. Class "A" is more stringent. In the absence of the original one, according to car enthusiasts, it is better to install a kit with a lowering Eibach Pro-Kit (-30 mm).

Replacing shock absorbers

Make the car fast and comfortable due to the use of special shock absorbers. Replacing this part:

• you can make an understatement of minus 70 millimeters; You will be able to increase the stability of the vehicle, especially at high speeds and turns;
• when lowered to minus 50, valve resistance increases and fuel consumption decreases;
• decided to make a lowering of minus 120 millimeters, then it is worth remembering that you will increase and improve the high-speed aerodynamics of the technical device;
• By deciding to lower the car by minus 90, you will improve the car’s handling. By lowering your car, you get the following benefits:

1. The body of the vehicle is prevented from loosening at high speeds and turns.
2. The elements of this suspension begin to work in a balanced manner.
3. The strength and rigidity of the racks increases.
4. By purchasing lowered VAZ 21099 struts, you will be sure that the car will drive safely and evenly, regardless of its speed.
5. A new type of car, which after lowering will be more fashionable and sporty.

By purchasing special parts to lower your car, you can be sure that the car will drive safer and smoother. There will be no skidding on turns, which are so dangerous for fast movement.

Among these parts, you can select the most suitable ones, both in terms of rigidity and other characteristics. Let's look at the most famous brands:

• СС20
  is a well-known domestic manufacturer of alternative suspension. They present a wide selection of springs for VAZ 13-15 models. All options have an alternating course with different indicators. This allows you to select spring stiffness based on your requirements;

When choosing springs, pay attention to their stiffness. For speed lovers, it is better to select parts with the highest rigidity. It is also advisable to install such spirals in case of frequent transportation of goods.

Conclusion

.
The vehicle's chassis is constantly under load. Therefore, all its parts are consumables and require periodic replacement. Before repairs, it is advisable to know in advance which springs are best installed on the VAZ 2114 and 2115 . This will make the choice much easier and will allow you not to make a mistake when choosing. Remember that springs affect not only ride comfort, but also handling. You should approach the process of selecting spirals very carefully; a mistake in selection can lead to serious consequences.

Recommended tuning

There are several important points to consider when upgrading the suspension of the vehicle in question. First of all, it is recommended to replace installed stabilizers that cannot cope with the assigned tasks. You can purchase a special kit or install a version from the VAZ 2110. It is recommended to buy this structural element assembled with racks. You can replace stabilizers and struts yourself. The next step is replacing the shock absorbers. To create a sports suspension, gas shock absorbers are used, for example, Plaza. In some cases, when replacing them, the angle of the wheels must be changed.

The above changes, even with a standard suspension, will increase rigidity and reduce roll when turning at high speed. This moment determines that the car will be easier to fit into turns. The car will also respond better to steering inputs. When using the above elements, the ground clearance increases by 2 centimeters. If you need to reduce the ground clearance, it is not recommended to cut the springs. To do this, you need to purchase shortened shock absorbers. Cutting springs can cause the car to become virtually uncontrollable when cornering at high speeds.

for racks I would recommend Sax or Bilstein, for some reason Kayaba is unreasonably more expensive, if you decide on the choice you can order from me

Well, if it’s stiffer then the springs are 2112))

no wonder he will ask whether the springs are stiff from 12 or not) I told him how hard they are))) if you have more money, then you can install an h&r lada cup))))))

and so you have normal shock absorbers and standard springs, it’s quiet and very comfortable and holds the road)

Guys! Do not cut down the springs! Better buy old ones from me! They are already understated by time - there is no need to cut anything!

a, clear..

I’ve seen enough of chapagonists who ride on sawdust and think it’s cool) so then in RTCC the guys don’t put on sawdust on viburnum? Why the hell do they need cocked hats and stretchers? supports on the ShS? Why the hell are they sawing the cylinder head and installing shafts and receivers when you can install a zero-speed throttle and a can and the car will become 200 hp more powerful?

We have so many drollys racing around the city on sawn springs and with cans ala prosport, and I just laugh at them when they rev up the gas and want to race. but quickly disappear in the mirrors and all desire disappears)

Malatsa! A worthy answer.

But I still can’t decide whether to install springs from 12 or original ones? If only I could see how some stand and how others stand, then it would be easier. And, as it turns out, either my right strut is leaking, or the right and left ones are different (it’s a used car, I haven’t changed anything yet) - the right one bends more softly, and this is very noticeable on recumbents. There's a 75% chance I'll change it. And now, dear experts, more questions have arisen: oil or gas-oil struts? What are their differences? I read that oil-based ones are softer, and gas-oil ones are harder, but which is more durable and more pleasant to drive?

• Which springs are better to put on a VAZ 2115

They are probably wondering which springs are best to install on the VAZ 2114 and 2115. After all, there are many offers on sale. In this case, drivers do not often know what the features of each model are. This is a consequence of the highest reliability of this suspension element. Stock springs will quietly wear off for 100-150 thousand km. Therefore, only an experienced professional owner actually faced the need to change. From time to time, people decide to change the properties of their original chassis. Under such circumstances, it is also necessary to select other springs. The option should be selected based on the parameters of your needs, as well as operating features.

Which springs are best installed on the VAZ 2114 and 2115, for which the fault design is intended. First of all, you need to decide where it is required. A more common prerequisite for a change is breakdowns. The malfunction can be identified by the following symptoms:

• The machine is skewed in any direction. Often the prerequisite is a broken turn;
• Upon inspection, mechanical damage is visible;
• The car rocks, and quite sharply.

With any similar dilemma, you need to create a replacement part in a timely manner. If this is not done, problems will arise with driving. Also, do not forget to change the springs in pairs. To install new springs from another manufacturer, it is recommended to do this in a circle.

In most cases, drivers do not bother selecting parts and simply purchase ordinary stock spare parts. As a result, this is a good option. They walk for quite a long time and cost little. However, there is one aspect to this. The original springs are quite soft, which makes the car poorly stable when cornering. This does not suit speed lovers very well. Also, unique parts have little to do with the vehicle's workload.

Under such circumstances, they sag. If you often carry large groups, or the trunk is constantly loaded, then it is better to choose something more rigid.

This is not a very correct title. In fact, these are completely ordinary springs, which, alas, have more reliable properties. These parts are manufactured by several companies specializing in the development of spare parts for tuning Russian cars. Among these parts, you can easily find those that are more suitable, both in terms of rigidity and other features. Let's take a look at the more famous brands:

• SS20
  is a recognizable Russian manufacturer of another suspension. They present a wide selection of springs for VAZ 13-15 models. What remains for our client to do is that the options have an alternating course with different indicators. This allows you to select spring stiffness based on your requirements;
• Kilen
  is also widely known among Russian car owners. The choice of springs here is small, but they are all of the highest quality. All of them, according to the manufacturer, have a service life twice as long as the originals;
• Asomi
  - good springs are also sold under this brand. They are made from special alloys. In order to increase service life, they are coated with epoxy coating.

When choosing springs, look at their hardness. For speed lovers, it is better to select parts with a high stiffness index. It is also better to install such spirals if there is frequent cargo transportation.

Manufacturing Features

Most machine parts are manufactured using a specific technology, so they comply with standards. However, in the case of spring production there is a slight subtlety. The manufacturing process of a part can involve operations that are often difficult to control.

For this reason, companies involved in the mass production of car springs cannot create identical parts. After leaving the assembly line, each spare part from this category is tested for rigidity. After comparing with the standard, specialists apply special marks to the products. Marking allows you to classify each product into groups, which are mentioned a little higher.
