Suspension control system with variable steering characteristics

A suspension control system, comprising:

• front suspension systems disposed between a front portion of a vehicular body and respective front wheels thereof for damping relative displacement therebetween, each of said front suspension systems having damping characteristics variable according to a front suspension control command;
• rear suspension systems disposed between a rear portion of the vehicular body and respective rear wheels thereof for damping relative displacement therebetween, each of said rear suspension systems having damping characteristics variable according to a rear suspension command;
• lateral acceleration monitoring means for monitoring a lateral acceleration at a first position on the vehicular body for producing a first lateral acceleration indicative signal and monitoring a lateral acceleration at a second position on the vehicular body for producing a second lateral acceleration indicative signal, the levels of the lateral acceleration sensors at said first and second positions being differentiated with respect to each other so that the magnitude of lateral acceleration at said second position is greater than that at said first position at least when the vehicular body enters a curve;
• and
• a control unit responsive to said first and second lateral acceleration indicative signals for deriving said front suspension control command on the basis of said first lateral acceleration indicative signal and deriving said rear suspension control command on the basis of said second lateral acceleration indicative signal, for suppressing vehicular rolling motion.
