The slightly firmer suspension, retuned to performance specifications, improves the handling.

On the parts side, suspension has dramatically improved over the last few years.

Systems like the earlier Christie or later torsion-bar suspension developed by Ferdinand Porsche dramatically improved the tank's cross-country performance and overall mobility.

For 1999, a new suspension improved the Discovery's ride on pavement.

New front and rear suspensions and a stiffer frame improve the handling, smooth the ride and reduce noise incrementally.

Adaptive suspension has improved handling perceptibly, though efforts to carry real speed through corners still feel somewhat like chucking the living room around.

The Hydractive suspension improves ride quality, keeps the car levelled, and enables the car to drive on three wheels if one tire is flat.

These shared suspensions hold down the cost and improve performance on rough terrain, a feature many drivers cherish even if they never leave the asphalt.

Studies have shown that suspensions do not improve students' behavior and that many students are recipients of serial suspensions.

Larger brakes and a stiffer suspension also improve performance.
