ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension system having suspension mechanisms including damping struts of variable damping rates and air springs of variable spring coefficients so that the suspension characteristics are changed between the "hard" and "soft" modes. A control circuit is provided for producing a control signal when the engine power output is substantially greater than the engine load to change the suspension characteristics into the "hard" mode. The arrangement is effective to prevent a rearward pitching of the vehicle in start or rapid acceleration.
