Are they regular people with an mjolnir suit?

Do some research next time.

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.

The Spartan IVs are existing members of the UNSC military that have undergone augmentations and are capable of wearing MJOLNIR armor. The S-IV program is similar to the S-I program, in that it is comprised of adult volunteers, not children. Surviving previous generations of Spartans are also adopted into this group.

Basically. They may or may not have received augments. It hasn't been confirmed 100% if they have been augmented.

Straight from the wandering mind of Watson 203

They wear Mjolnir armour which you have to be augmented to wear, otherwise your bones aren't strong enough to cope with the increased movement/reaction speeds so they break. You then react to the pain by twitching and jerking which then causes more breakages. You eventually die.
Simply put they're augmented.
I believe it's also been said in Glasslands they were augmented, but the augments used were like those of the Spartan I's or III's due to the candidates being adults. Don't quote me on that though as I haven't actually read the book.

The 4s received essentially the same augmentations as the spartan 3's prior to S-3 Gamma Company and are equiped with Mark-7 armor.
