A suspension system of a vehicle can provide configurable stiffness and damping characteristics. The system can include a plurality of shock absorbers, one or more valve assemblies, and a plurality of accumulators. The plurality of shock absorbers, which can be synchronous or non-synchronous, each correspond to a respective wheel of a vehicle. The valve assembly is configured for controlling hydraulic fluid in the plurality of shock absorbers to achieve a plurality of suspension modes affecting bounce, pitch, roll, and warp. The valve assemblies can be controlled to manage pitch stiffness of the vehicle in response to detected conditions, such as longitudinal and lateral dynamics, with overrides in response to vertical acceleration and/or damper displacement. Accordingly, the handling improvement provided by varying suspension modes is balanced with a desire to provide improved ride characteristics.
