Hi,
You can define contacts between the coils selecting the surfaces as both targert and contact. However, there is a KM that suggests that while the coiled surface can be modelled as a contact and target, it is better to have the spring sliced into multiple parts.

For a helical spring should the whole coiled surface be defined as contact and target? | Ansys Knowledge

I hope this helps.
