Used coil springs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the Alfa Romeo 4C does not use conventional coil springs. It uses a double-wishbone suspension setup front and rear with coilover-style damper units, but the spring element is an aluminium coil integrated within the shock absorber assembly; there is no separate, standalone coil spring to source as an individual part. If you need to address the spring on your 4C's suspension, what you are most likely looking for is a complete coilover unit or a replacement damper/spring assembly — speak to a breaker about sourcing the full strut unit for your axle and side (NS or OS).
Almost certainly yes. Because the 4C's springs are integrated into its coilover damper units rather than being separate free-standing springs, breakers will typically list this component as a front or rear shock absorber, damper, or coilover assembly rather than a coil spring. When contacting a breaker, specify the axle (front or rear) and side (nearside/NS or offside/OS) you need, along with your registration, so they can pull the correct complete unit from a donor car.
Yes, it can matter. The 4C was offered in coupe form from around 2013 and as a Spider (open-top) from around 2015, and there can be differences in suspension components between the two body styles due to structural and weight differences. Always confirm with the breaker whether the donor car is a coupe or Spider and check it against your own vehicle's registration to ensure compatibility.
The Alfa Romeo 4C was only ever sold with a single 1750cc turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the UK, so unlike some other models there is no engine-size variable to worry about here. However, because the spring and damper function as one integrated assembly on the 4C, you should still confirm the exact specification with the breaker against your registration, as rate variants or any suspension setup differences between model years are something the breaker will need to verify.
Trim level does not generally affect the underlying suspension components on the 4C — the engineering is consistent regardless of trim designation. That said, if your car was optioned with a sport or performance suspension package, the damper/spring assembly fitted could differ from a standard car, so confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming a direct swap is correct.
