Abstract
A suspension system between two bodies, the suspension system including: a first pressure chamber provided between the bodies; and at least one other pressure chamber provided between the bodies such that the at least one other pressure chamber opposes the action of the first pressure chamber; and a control system to control the pressure and volume in the first pressure chamber and the at least one other pressure chamber to adjust the stiffness value of the suspension system independently of adjusting a distance between the bodies.
