The unique feature of Bilstien B16 IRC is that it is an active suspension that can be conveniently controlled with the help of an iPhone/iPad wirelessly. The user can create a customized suspension setting through adjusting one of the preset auto modes – comfort, normal, sport – with the help of precision controls that help change the acceleration threshold, switching time and filter parameters. The optimum basic setting of the shock absorbers can be calibrated through a driving trial prior to installation and can also be saved for use later. For outstanding vehicle dynamics, Sport mode can be set, while Comfort mode is ideal for handling the bumps. The adjustments can be done also while driving the car. The vertical acceleration can be filtered and the RC button can be invoked are couple of other features that make the new system extraordinary.
