There are four different kinds of springs:

Coil Springs

Leaf Springs

Torsion Bars

Rubber Springs

Coil Springs:

Coil springs can look alike but give very different load ratings, Which are often colour coded for identification.

Leaf Springs:

Driving thrust transfers through the front half of the spring to the fixed shackle point

Torsion bars:

are fixed to the chassis or the sub - frame at one end & the suspension control arm at the other end.

Load on the suspension causes the bar to twist around the center & to provide the springing action.

Rubber Springs:

Increasing the load on the suspension causes the rubber cone to act like a spring being deformed.

Once the load has been removed the rubber spring retracts to it's proper shape.
