Adjustable suspensionmade to measure
Set the ride height and behaviour of your sports car to match how you drive it, on road or track, with a workshop located 700 metres from Paul Ricard.
- Workshop in Signes (83)
- 700 m from the Paul Ricard circuit
- Bespoke road and track settings
Adjustable suspension tailored to how you drive
Adjustable suspension lets you set the height, firmness and balance of your car to match how you actually use it.
- ▸ Adjustable height
- Lower or raise your car for more presence and grip, without making it impractical for everyday use.
- ▸ Controlled behaviour
- Find the balance between road comfort and track precision by tuning the firmness of the damping.
- ▸ Bespoke setup
- Every setting starts from your car and your usage, with the same made-to-measure logic as our engine mapping.
- ▸ Road and track
- Enjoy a pleasant road base that can be fine-tuned ahead of a day at the Paul Ricard circuit.
When adjustable suspension really makes the difference
Road use
A healthier stance and more precise behaviour on your journeys, without sacrificing everyday enjoyment.
Track use
A chassis fine-tuned before a session at Paul Ricard, to safely make the most of your sports car's potential.
Mixed use
A road and track compromise set to your programme, which you can adapt from one weekend to the next.
How we approach bespoke adjustable suspension
At Bernis Factory, adjustable suspension is never just about fitting dampers and picking a height at random. Our work always starts from your car, its weight, its engine and above all how you use it. A car driven mainly on the road is not set up like one meant for track days, and that difference guides every choice we make. Chassis preparation is one of our trades, just like engine preparation, and we approach it with the same made-to-measure standard.
In practice, we first discuss your expectations: comfort, road holding, the behaviour you are after and how you plan to use the car. From there, we define the height and damping settings that make the most sense for your car, then refine them. This approach avoids the most common pitfall of poorly used adjustable suspension: a car that is too stiff, impractical day to day and gains nothing in real effectiveness.
Adjustable suspension and the Paul Ricard circuit
Our workshop is located 700 metres from the Paul Ricard circuit at Le Castelet, and that closeness changes a great deal when setting up adjustable suspension. We can prepare your car's chassis, then adjust the settings according to what you actually feel on track. This back-and-forth between the workshop and the circuit is part of our daily routine: we are an official BMW M France partner for track support and recommended by ORECA, and our team has a recovery truck to step in directly on site.
Chassis preparation and adjustable suspension in Signes
Bernis Factory is located at 26 Allée de Dublin in Signes, in the Var. Sports car enthusiasts from the region and visitors passing through Le Castelet find a workshop able to handle chassis preparation and adjustable suspension setup, alongside servicing, engine preparation and restoration. Working locally, just minutes from the circuit, lets us follow your car over time rather than deliver a setting fixed once and for all.

Frequently asked questions about adjustable suspension
- What is adjustable suspension?
- Adjustable suspension lets you tune certain parameters of your car, such as ride height and damping firmness. You can adapt your sports car's behaviour to your usage, instead of living with a factory setting designed for the average driver.
- Can adjustable suspension be used every day?
- Yes, provided it is set up intelligently. The whole point of a bespoke approach is to find a comfortable road base that can then be stiffened for the track. An overly extreme setting is rarely pleasant day to day, which is why we always start from how you actually use the car.
- Do you set up the suspension for road as well as track?
- Yes. We work on cars meant for the road as well as sports cars used on track, and often both. As our workshop is 700 metres from the Paul Ricard circuit, we can refine the settings to match your programme.
- Is adjustable suspension part of chassis preparation?
- Yes. Setting up adjustable suspension is part of our chassis preparation, one of our trades alongside engine preparation, servicing and the restoration of high-end sports cars.
- Do you give a price for adjustable suspension?
- Every project is different depending on your car, your usage and the result you are after. The simplest step is to tell us about your vehicle and your expectations so we can work out the most suitable solution together.
Adjustable suspension designed for high-end sports cars
Finding adjustable suspension genuinely suited to a sports car takes more than a parts catalogue. The behaviour of a high-end sports car depends on a subtle balance between height, damping and usage, and a generic setting often misses what really makes the difference. Bernis Factory tackles this subject from its Signes workshop, with the eye of a team used to working on Ferrari, BMW M, Mercedes AMG, Porsche and Nissan GT-R, on road as well as track.
By linking chassis preparation, braking and engine preparation, we always look for overall coherence rather than the performance of a single component. Well-used adjustable suspension makes full sense when it works with the rest of the car, and it is this global vision, close to the Paul Ricard circuit, that we put at the service of your project.
