The Suspension - Performance holds a vehicle steady over bumps and rough ground. It is the top grade of suspension, above the Suspension - Regular.
The performance suspension comes in Standard, Heavy-Duty and Sports versions. Each version fits only vehicles of its own type. Trailers take the Standard version too.
Each wheel has its own suspension. It sits behind the tire next to the brake. A performance suspension lasts longer than the regular grade, so it means fewer trips under the car with a jack. The Mechanic is the best occupation for vehicle maintenance. It starts with the most Mechanics skill.
How to Use Suspension - Performance
The suspension absorbs the shocks of the road. The Heavy-Duty version is the stiffest, which suits heavy vans and trucks. The Sports version sits between the Heavy-Duty and the Standard one. The Standard version is the softest.
Performance and regular suspensions of the same type ride the same way. The difference is in how long they last. A performance suspension wears more slowly and spawns damaged less often.
The suspension still wears as the vehicle drives. On paved roads the wear is slow. Off road it wears many times faster. The Heavy-Duty performance suspension stands up to rough ground better than any other.
For a vehicle that spends time off the paved roads, the Heavy-Duty performance suspension is the best choice.
How to Install Suspension - Performance
Fitting or removing a suspension needs a Jack and a Wrench. The job calls for Mechanics level 3 and knowledge of Basic Mechanics.
The tire on that wheel has to come off first. A Lug Wrench and the Jack take care of that. The suspension must also be back in place before the tire can go on again.
Higher Mechanics lowers the chance of damage and raises the chance of success.
The suspension must match the vehicle type. A Standard suspension goes only on a Standard vehicle, and the same rule holds for Heavy-Duty and Sports versions.
The tools, Mechanics level and knowledge the game asks for to fit the Suspension - Performance and to take it out again.

Locations
Car supply stores and mechanic shops keep performance suspensions in storage. Mechanic shelves turn them up too. Garages, closets, attics, halls and living rooms hold one very rarely. Parked cars and wrecks sometimes carry them as well.
