I and IIGood road surface with medium or low speed, mostly on an urban driving conditionImprove the vehicle ride performance
IIIExpressway driving conditionImprove the road holding
IVBad road with low speedLimit the low frequency body motion
V and VIPoor-quality road surface with medium-high speed and the impulse road inputAttenuate the impact feeling
