The Adaptive Variable Suspension system provides three modes to control the spring rate and shock
absorber damping force to provide optimal handling and comfort for on - road or trail driving.
Fluid - filled compliance bushings at all four corners further improve ride comfort and absorption of road irregularities, and all new Accords also feature, for the first time, an Adaptive Damper System with the ability to adjust shock
absorber damping force every 1/500 of a second, providing for a more compliant and controlled ride in all driving situations.

Pollino's modeling suggests optimal sizes for two key components of rocking steel - based frames: viscous
damping devices, which are akin to shock
absorbers, and steel - yielding devices, which have been likened to electrical fuses because they limit the amount of
force transferred to the rest of the structure.

Continuously variable, electronically controlled shock
absorbers provide high
damping force at low frequency vibrations (flat ride) and low
damping force at high - frequency vibrations (smooth ride)
The suspension is fundamentally similar to the Fox Racing shock
absorbers that were already employed by the Raptor, but now with a solenoid that allows the truck's computer to constantly adjust the
damping force at each corner.
The heart of the ZDX's Active Damper System is its electronically - controlled Magneto - Rheological shock
absorbers, which can individually adjust from minimum to maximum
damping force in as little as five milliseconds (0.005 sec.).
In Comfort Mode, the
damping force of the shock
absorbers is variably adjusted for more comfort.
When shock
absorber impulses increase, such as high - speed cornering or a quick manoeuvre, the maximum
damping forces are set for greater stability.
A special Bilstein ® DampTronic ® driver - adjustable shock
absorber system utilizes multiple vehicle information systems to provide appropriate
damping forces and a high level of control for a variety of driving situations.
The GT - R's Bilstein ® DampTronic driver - adjustable shock -
absorber system — which utilizes information from multiple vehicle systems to provide appropriate
damping forces and high level of control for a variety of driving situations — includes a valve housing system that reduces resistance losses.
When a corner is taken, a flow of oil, and thus a supplementary
damping force, is generated via the central valve between the diagonally opposed shock
absorbers.
An aluminum free - piston shock
absorber design is newly developed which generates more precise
damping force to constantly provide stable road holding and a load shift that quickly responds to driver's intention.
«Sport» mode allows the shock
absorbers to have a tauter response depending on the driving situation, while «Sport plus» is recommended for fast lap times on a race circuit: apart from higher
damping forces, this mode has special control algorithms configured for a decidedly sporty driving style on uneven road surfaces.
If the excitation of the shock
absorber is greater, the control piston moves to its limit position so that oil ceases flowing through the bypass duct, meaning that the full
damping force is available.
When the shock -
absorber bounce is low, the control piston moves oil through the bypass duct so that a lower
damping force is produced at the actual shock -
absorber valve.
The GT - R's special Bilstein ® DampTronic driver - adjustable shock -
absorber system — which utilizes information from multiple vehicle systems to provide appropriate
damping forces and high level of control for a variety of driving situations — has been enhanced by way of a new valve housing that reduces resistance losses.

DRC connects shock
absorbers on each side of the car diagonally to their counterparts by way of a central valve, which directs a flow of oil to provide additional
damping force whenever a shock
absorber is compressed, making for impressive gains in handling precision and stability.
Changes in solenoid
force — which restrict
absorber fluid and, thus,
damping — happen in an incredible 20 milliseconds.
Tuned by Renault Sport Technologies, the Clio GT's springs are five per cent stiffer, while the shock
absorbers have been recalibrated to deliver 50 per cent more
damping force at the front, and 40 per cent more at the rear.
