RAPID SUSPENSION CHANGES IMPROVE RIDE QUALITY

Since the earliest days of the automobile, great efforts have been expended to obtain optimum spring and damping conditions for suspensions. Such characteristics play the major role in determining ride and handling. An electronic-controlled suspension has been developed which can make use of several sensors to ascertain conditions caused either by the road or the driver and alter its characteristics instantly to meet those conditions.
