ABSTRACT:
A suspension control device for a vehicle includes: a vehicle speed detector for detecting a vehicle running speed; a spring or damping rate variation calculator for calculating variation of an apparent spring or damping rate of a suspension of a vehicle due to increase or reduction of the vehicle running speed on the basis of the detected vehicle running speed; and a spring or damping rate variable correction device for varying and correcting the spring or damping rate of the vehicle suspension to a predetermined value on the basis of the variation of the spring or damping rate. The spring or damping rate is determined by the variation of the apparent spring constant which is proportional to variation in aerodynamic force due to displacement of the attitude of the vehicle, the apparent damping rate variation which is proportional to variation in aerodynamic force due to displacement velocity of the attitude of the vehicle.
