A spring assembly for mounting between a chassis and an unsprung mass of a vehicle, the spring assembly comprising a coil spring and a hydropneumatic spring acting in series, wherein the hydropneumatic spring is configured to be switchable between a compressible state and an incompressible state, such that when the hydropneumatic spring is in the compressible state, the equivalent spring rate of the spring assembly is a function of the spring rate of the coil spring and the hydropneumatic spring, and when the hydropneumatic spring is in the incompressible state, the equivalent spring rate of the spring assembly is a function of the spring rate of the coil spring.
