CAR SUSPENSION

Suspension system – everybody heard about it, and almost anybody can imagine on a long shot how is it work, but how many of you actually know those small information that could actually help your driving skills. When it comes to a certain vehicle’s suspension system different drivers will have different needs. For example, a truck or a SUV driver will have different needs from a sedan driver that is only interested to drive his car to work and back home. Off-road vehicles that climb on rocks and piles of mud, and other bad terrains imply usually a four-wheel drive, and of course, a four-wheel drive suspension that has to be up to the task.

With performance vehicles the story is completely different because they have to be up to the track – shock absorbers are very important here because they will help the suspension system to go through all the rigors of the road. No matter what the case may be, the conclusion is that a suspension system is not something someone should fool around with. Actually, it is highly recommended that the driver keep it in great shape in order to achieve that great driving experience you had when you just bought the car. Of course, for the road you chose the car for. Do not expect a small sedan to act to brave in front of bad terrain even if it is equipped with four-wheel drive. Remember that four-wheel driving on a sedan may imply four-wheel driving suspension, but it surely does not act, as a SUV should.

Performance car drivers know a very clear thing: that stock suspensions will never be as good as they should be and always leave something to be desired. Of course, this happens only if you are not driving a Corvette or a Porsche, and most of the times this is the case. In this case most probably your factory installed a suspension system that could have been a lot better, particularly when it comes to the ability to navigate turns and absorbing different bumps without you getting the feel that your car might go on her own direction. With that feeling in his mind, Koni has developed several high quality suspension systems that took in consideration the very important points such as shocks, struts and coilovers. This way, it is easier to keep control of your car and the best thing is that after you installed it you can tune it yourself exactly how you need it for a maximum control.
