Default Dynamically Tracking Suspension System question

I was wondering how the DTSS system actully works. For the Rx7's i know they turn on at around .6g's but i want to know what messures the gforces and stuff in the car to make it come on. its a passive system so its not computer controled. Any links on this would be helpful.

You might try asking at the Mazda website. Surely they have that info.

If you become interested in better handling for your own car, we
should talk.-Bob

The 300zx system is called HICAS : High Capacity Active Suspension. your system probably has a speed sensor that tells your psp to turn your rear wheels. There are many performance cars that use it, and it also comes in electronic computer controlled trim. As far as I know, the Z32 guys don't really care for the system b/c it has the tendancy to feel like your oversteering. I also hear it's not really beneficial if you like to get sideways.

Have you tried googling it?

I tried googling it and it didnt come up. its a passive system so the psp couldnt do anything. Thats assuming i have the right meaning for what the psp is.
