An improved shock absorber which is capable of absorbing higher pressures created by larger deflections in the roadway and absorbing lower pressures created by smaller deflections in the roadway. The second mechanism involves the use of a first and second chamber which may expand to absorb the force of roadway defections. Additional components such as a valve, pump, tilt control unit and CPU may be used to regulate the operation of the chambers. The mechanism for absorbing lower pressures and smaller deflections may be turned on or off depending on the desires of the user. In particular, where low profile tires are used, the user may desire a stiffer suspension, and a stiffer shock absorber in a curve. In such case, it may be desirable to turn off the portion designed to absorb smaller deflections so that the car will not “roll” when going around a curve.
