Active Four Wheel Steering (A-4WS), Active Hydropneumatic Suspension (A-SUS), ABS TRC
In the early 90's, 874 very special Soarers were made for the local Japanese market. They all had the frame numbers starting with UZZ32. (Export SC400 are UZZ30).
To improve stability, controllability and ride comfort, TOYOTA has developed an integrated chassis control system consisting of Active Four Wheel Steering (A-4WS), Active Hydropneumatic Suspension (A-SUS), ABS and TRC. The system, which is available on '91 model SOARER sold on the domestic market, realises a significant advance in total vehicle dynamics - due partly to the superior characteristics of the new A-4WS and A-SUS and partly to the enhancement accruing from integration - and makes an important contribution to active safety.
Finally a copy up of this paper is up on the Soarer DieHardwebsite: http://www.users.bigpond.com/pgscott/
(you can also see video of the car cornering on the Festivus page)
The UZZ32 brakes harder and corners harder than any other Soarer ever made.

It gets a bit technical now and again but the test results are plain.

Wow, talk about thread ressurection
But has anone consided adapting the Active Suspension system on their SC?
It would consist of the all four system, + ecu, +oil pump right?

It'll take forever to find a wrecked one (in most cases).
