Try a little harder, Qfortyfiver. I searched post bodies in recent threads for the terms y33 suspension and found this on the second page:

Y33 ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION DESCRIPTION

Also new for 1999 is an Active Damper Suspension, available as standard equipment on the Q45t. This system offers electronically modulated shock valuing control with SPORT and AUTO driver selectable settings.

The system uses real-time, independent 4-wheel shock absorber damping force regulation in response to input from vertical G-sensors and steering angle sensors. Signals from these sensors are sent to the system's computer control unit, then matched with vehicle speed. "Instruction" data is then sent back to actuators above each individual shock absorber, which immediately adjust shock absorber damping force.

The system helps eliminate excessive body movement, such as in hard cornering, braking or acceleration. It also helps improve tire-to-road surface contact for greater stability and enhanced handling control.

With the two adjustable settings, drivers can chose between a softer, more comfortable ride or a firmer ride with more road feel, depending on road surface, traffic and climate conditions or personal preferences.

Most questions have been answered over the years. Some of us will gladly take our own time to find these threads for you, but you could do it, like, right away, if you'd give it a try.

very nice of you to at least post the information for him on here, and not just instruct "search."

I just find it infinitely annoying that people on here take it upon themselves to be "search" vigilantes. If you don't want to answer, or it's been answered, then don't answer it.

Some people just are not that competent! Some people are not familiar with computers! Some people don't have time to sift through pages of results! Some people don't know how to "use" a forum, much less it's search feature!

Seriously, like the saying goes...if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

96Qowner, this is not directed at you since you WERE nice enough to search FOR him and post the information, so please don't think I'm flaming you.

People just need to calm down and remember the PURPOSE of this site...to CREATE discussion, NOT to stifle it.

the search criteria for NICO is not as refined as other boards.

if you search via username, u mind as well forget searching at all.

also the fact that it is not split between g50 and y33 is not good, u have to go through alot of stuff in order to find what your looking for.

The search tutorial is blank because Surpass Hosting is run by a bunch of incompetent alcoholics.

Amen. I'm always impressed with people providing actual answers but think that just saying "search" is a pathetic attempt to sound like an expert.

Even more detailed info is in the searches than a rehash of old stuff. The dilution of information as it gets repeated.
