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. Such a feature requires fairly sophisticated engineering.
Height adjustment is most often achieved by air or oil compression used for the "springs" of the vehicle – when the pressure is varied, the vehicle body rises or lowers.
