Abstract

An apparatus for shifting the center of gravity of a vehicle, including a master cylinder assembly with motor, gearbox and position sensing encoder; at least one vehicle shock and spring assembly with upper shock casing and lower piston end; a slave cylinder hydraulically connected with the master cylinder and connected with the at least one or more of the vehicle's vehicle shock and spring assemblies assembly to, upon actuation of the motor, vary the distance between the upper shock casing and the lower piston end; a driver control assembly including one or more actuator paddles connected behind the outer grip of the steering wheel; and, a control unit having computer programming to receive and issue data and instructions and being operationally connected between the driver control assembly and the master cylinder to actuate the motor upon movement of one or more of the paddles.
