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 first-generation i30 (Mk1, 2007–2012) and second-generation i30 (Mk2, 2012–2017) are different platforms entirely, so the coil springs are not interchangeable. Always match the spring to the correct generation when sourcing from a breaker.
Generation matters a great deal: the Mk1 (2007–2012), Mk2 (2012–2017), and Mk3 (2017 onwards) each use different suspension geometry and springs are not shared across those boundaries. Within a generation, front and rear springs also differ, so always tell the breaker your exact registration, whether you need the front or rear spring, and your engine size.
Both a 2012 and a 2015 i30 fall within the Mk2 generation (2012–2017), so they share the same basic platform and a spring swap is potentially possible. However, confirm the specific spring with the breaker against your registration, as rate or specification variants may exist within that generation that are not always obvious from the year alone.
Trim level alone — SE, Premium, SR, or N Line — does not generally determine the spring specification on the i30, so a spring from one trim is likely to share the same part number as another trim of the same generation and engine size. That said, ask the breaker to check the spring specification against your registration rather than trim name, as sport or N Line variants may carry different suspension tuning that is not always reflected in trim badging alone.
Engine size can influence suspension specification because heavier or more powerful variants may be set up with different spring rates, so it is worth telling the breaker your exact engine when requesting a quote. This is particularly relevant if you are comparing a 1.0-litre T-GDI against a 1.6-litre diesel, for example, as the cars have meaningfully different kerb weights.
Yes, coil springs are a genuine fitment on the Hyundai i30 across all generations — the front suspension uses a MacPherson strut arrangement with a coil spring, and the rear also uses coil springs as part of its independent or torsion-beam setup depending on generation and variant. Coil springs are therefore a commonly replaced item and you should have no trouble sourcing them through a breaker, provided you match generation, axle position, and engine size correctly.
