HIgh Capacity Active (ly Controlled) Suspension,............ dumb name! Even after the "accronym puzzle" is translated, one still doesn't know what it is! What is it? It's a rear steer, or actually, a rear steer assist assy. incorporated into the rear suspension. The back wheels turn (only a few degrees) when the front wheels are turned. It's not a bad concept, it does tend to shorten the corners, however, due to it's ,somwhat elaborate design (added pump [power steering] capacity, power steering lines going to [and from] the rear end, ecu diagnostics, additional wiring/components etc.) the negatives seem to out weigh the positives, your call.
