Height adjustable suspension is a feature of certain automobile suspension systems that allow the motorist to vary the ride height or ground clearance. This can be done for various reasons including giving better ground clearance over rough terrain, a lower ground clearance to improve fuel economy at high speed, or for stylistic reasons. Such a feature requires fairly sophisticated engineering.
Usually for road race car, they are using adjustable suspension for adjust the height, so that they can use different size of rim. If want to change the rim even bigger, there is no need to change spring coil due to the height.like 15 inch rim, the tire profile in range 195/60/15 so the gap is quite big then the suspension can be adjust to lowered it. But if the driver want to change to rim 17 inch, the tire profile also change like 235/35/17 so the suspension must be adjust at higher level. This was regarding to the manufacturer and type of car,rim,and clearance of the gap.
