The present invention is directed to a helical compression spring which is mounted on a vehicle body to be compressed between an upper seat and a lower seat. The spring is formed to provide a coil axis to be substantially curved at a predetermined radius of curvature in an unloaded state of the spring. A pitch of a lower end coil of the spring is set to tilt a lower end plane of the spring at a first angle to the lower seat in a direction for shortening the longitudinal length of the spring at the inside of the curvature in the unloaded state of the spring, and/or a pitch of an upper end coil of the spring is set to tilt an upper end plane of the spring at a second angle in a direction for shortening the longitudinal length of the spring at the outside of the curvature in the unloaded state. And, the pitch of the lower end coil is set to tilt the lower end plane at a third angle to the lower seat on a plane including an end coil center line connecting the centers of the upper end coil and the lower end coil perpendicular to a plane including the end coil center line and the coil axis, in the unloaded state, and/or the pitch of the upper end coil is set to tilt the upper end plane at a fourth angle to the upper seat on that plane, in the unloaded state.
