Fact Sheet
Product description: Praxis™ is the first and only aftermarket suspension system that allows the driver to rapidly adapt vehicle suspension (height, spring-rate and damping) for most any highway or amateur motorsports driving situation without the need for tools or time in the shop.
Developed by: Bridgestone/Firestone Vehicle Systems
1200 Firestone Parkway
Akron, OH 44317

Introduced: November 2003 (First fitment - Subaru Impreza WRX & STi)
How it works: The Praxis Advanced Suspension system uses Multi-Rate Air-Spring Technology, coupled with the Intelliride™ control-system and externally-adjustable monotube dampers to allow the driver to rapidly select the ride-height, spring-rate and damping. Once the system is installed, a simple touch of a cockpit-mounted control button and a simple damper adjustment at each corner places the vehicle into one of three fully-tuned operating modes.
