Again this is what was explained to me by the guys at Nissan Motorsports. |
I don't know if it's that tightly bound to the original characteristics of the car. I mean it's just a gas tube that when compressed reacts oppositely to the speed of the compression. It's like a coilover that has different low-speed and high-speed bump behavior. This way when going over small bumps the car doesn't seize up, but when leaning into a hard turn the chassis is rigid.
