Car Suspension is a very important feature in an automobile. It is evident that roads cannot be made perfectly smooth. Bumps and dips create a vertical movement of tires which in turn affects the ride comfort.

Suspension is a thing that defines how comfortable a car is. For instance, BMW and Audi suspension system is configured for speed and luxury but Hummer suspension system is designed for off-road capabilities. During the whole time of production of cars, engineers designed newer and better suspension systems to improve car performance and comfort. For example, stiff suspension allows more speed in turns, but comfort is dramatically decreased. Soft suspension smooths out all bumps on the road, but at higher speeds handling the car could be hard.
