Height adjustable suspension is a feature of certain automobile suspension systems that allow the motorist to vary the ride height or ground clearance. This can be done for various reasons including giving better ground clearance over rough terrain, a lower ground clearance to improve performance and fuel economy at high speed, [1] or for stylistic reasons.
2015 Chevrolet City Express LS cargo van (Nissan NV200) Chevrolet used the Express nameplate for the first time on an unrelated 1987 concept car designed for future limited-access highways. [38] The vehicle was turbine-powered with drive-by-wire controls. [38] A similar name was used on the Chevrolet City Express, a rebadged Nissan NV200.
Land Rover developed a self-levelling rear suspension using the "Boge Hydromat" self-energising hydraulic strut. [13] Of similar construction to a hydraulic shock absorber the strut used the motion of the suspension travelling over bumps to pump itself back up to a pre-set height. It was sufficiently powerful to regain up to 85% of normal ride ...
Full coilovers are matched up with a shock absorber from the factory, while with slip-on coilovers, the dampers and springs are bought separately and then assembled. [4] There are a large number of companies who make aftermarket coilovers for vehicles, many of which allow the customer to adjust various settings such as ride height and damping.
The overall simplicity of the design also means there are fewer joints in the suspension to wear, so there is less decline in handling and steering feel over time [citation needed]. Inverted monotube struts can also provide extra rigidity in the front suspension, as seen in the Porsche 911 GT3 and Cayman GT4, as well as the Subaru Impreza WRX STI.
