Dampers

Dampers are components, like valves, that control the system’s airflow.

Fluid viscous dampers, which absorb vibrations or seismic waves, can prevent cracks and significant property damage.

Its 276-hp turbo-4 delivers thrilling power, and yet the adaptive dampers ensure it’s not too punishing.

BMW says it managed to get the M6 Competition Edition to deliver lithe, balanced, and direct handling by stiffening suspension components like springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars to reduce body roll and enhance steering precision.

Cooking with real wood offers some delicious flavors but can be a hassle when you have to manually watch the temps, adjust the dampers, add wood and more.

For that you get 22-inch wheels with Pirelli P Zero performance tires, sportier chassis tuning with adaptive dampers, Brembo brakes and even more gold accents.

In 3.5T and Electrified form, the G80’s suspension gets upgraded with adaptive dampers paired to a road-scanning sensor system to adjust in anticipation of road imperfections, as well as rear-wheel steering.

In fact, nothing has gone untouched—from the revised brake booster, new adaptive dampers, to the newly-tuned chassis control system, including adjustable traction and stability control, among others.

Its air suspension has new springs with different spring rates, new dampers and a hydraulic anti-roll system, and depending on spec, you now get three suspension stiffness settings instead of two.

The dampers have to be able to support the temporarily heavier car while also keeping the tires in contact with the tarmac.

These extremely reliable, high-performance dampers are fully adjustable, letting the driver adjust the suspension geometry to suit whichever track they're racing on.

To take advantage of this, Honda not only returned the dampers for improved response, but also now offers summer tires as an option.

Among the mechanical parts Han mentions but are never expounded upon are the "alluvial dampers," which Han suggests Chewie check as they try to fix the hyperdrive.

Instead, Honda is offering this car with specially tuned dampers, recalibrated steering and -- most importantly -- higher-performance tires.

The Q50 Red Sport ups the ante with more power, softer leather, and adaptive dampers.

The standard air suspension with adaptive dampers carries over but the available Magic Ride Control system gets a new feature for 2018.

V-8 power combines with a new independent rear suspension and available adaptive dampers and air suspension to earn a 7 for performance.

When you reach a corner, that combination of all-wheel drive, adaptive dampers, and firmly weighted steering lend a feeling of precision and predictability.

With the adaptive dampers, the steering weight builds around corners in predictable ways, but feels light in normal and comfort settings that are geared toward around-town detail.

Worse still, knock the dampers back into Comfort mode and the brittle edge to the ride remains.
