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:
The Mazda 6 uses coil springs on all four corners across all variants, so whether you have a saloon, estate or hatchback, front-wheel drive is standard throughout the range and coil springs are fitted as standard running gear on every version. This means you don't need to worry about a particular drivetrain layout excluding the part. Simply quote your generation and engine size to the breaker and they'll be able to help.
No — the first-generation Mazda 6 (2002–2007) and the second-generation (2008–2012) are built on different platforms with different suspension geometry, so the springs are not interchangeable across that boundary. Always source a spring from the correct generation to ensure it seats and performs correctly. Confirm the exact part with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
The third-generation Mazda 6 launched in 2013 on an entirely new platform, so a spring from the second-generation (2008–2012) car will not be a direct fit for a 2013-onwards model. These are distinct generations with different suspension designs, and parts should not be mixed across this boundary. Source a spring specifically from a third-generation (2013-onwards) donor car and confirm compatibility with the breaker using your registration.
Trim level alone does not determine which coil spring you need on the Mazda 6 — the key factors are the generation and engine size, not whether the car is badged SE, TS, Sport, or any other trim. That said, there may be variants with different spring or damper rates depending on suspension specification, so confirm with the breaker against your registration whether your car has any non-standard suspension setup. Expect no cosmetic differences between springs from different trim levels.
Engine size can influence suspension specification on the Mazda 6, as heavier or more powerful engines may require springs rated differently to cope with the additional weight and load. If you're swapping between, say, a 2.0-litre and a 2.5-litre donor car, it's worth checking rather than assuming the springs are identical. Confirm the engine size of the donor car against your own with the breaker to be confident the rates are a match.
Yes — while front coil springs on the Mazda 6 are often symmetrical and may be interchangeable side to side, rear springs can differ depending on the specific setup, so it's always best practice to specify NS or OS when requesting a quote from the breaker. Getting the correct side avoids any risk of incorrect seating or handling imbalance. Tell the breaker which corner you need and confirm against your registration.
