Abstract
A vehicular height controlling arrangement changing a length of a suspension cylinder by supplying or draining the hydraulic oil through a damping force selector valve. The damping force selector valve changes a damping force of a suspension cylinder by changing an orifice therein. When the vehicular height is lowered under a vehicle stopping condition, a large orifice is selected in the damping force selector valve so as to quickly lower the vehicular height. Thereafter, a small orifice is immediately selected to suppress the swinging of the automotive vehicle.
