Well leaf springs are a totally different kind of suspension system.
Unlike Normal springs which provide smooth ride, the leaf springs provide rigidity.
u can see these in any Truck or a Pickup.
These are Metal plates Stack one upon another, which gives a cushioning effect.
Trucks, vans and some S.U.Vs use this thing.
SECOND POST
In a coil type suspension, a hydraulic cylinder is placed between a coil of spring, attached to the axle.
Advantage of this over Leaf Spring - Gives a Smooth Ride and better manouvarability.
