An absorber system for a vehicle includes a controller. The controller determines a reference control amount as a reference of a target control amount which is a target of a control amount for controlling a damping force with respect to an operation of a cylinder in its extension and an operation of the cylinder in its compression. The controller determines the target control amount to the reference control amount for one of the operation of the cylinder in its extension and the operation of the cylinder in its compression and determines the target control amount to a value obtained by multiplying the reference control amount by an extension-compression gain for the other. The controller changes the extension-compression gain in at least one of a driving-stability-emphasized situation in which driving stability is to be emphasized and a ride-comfort-emphasized situation in which ride comfort is to be emphasized.
