ABC system is only a semi-active suspension supplying only a force in the downward direction, and cannot lift the wheel out of the way like in fully active suspensions designed by lotus and other F1 teams from 83-94.

It is active. The count of "move-directions" has nothing to do with the defintion of active or passive systems. By the way: take a look at the Mercedes F700. The F700 can quasi take the wheel out of the way with the ABC System. The pens are set smooth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.46.42.194 (talk) 12:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The definition of "active" is at stake here: for many engineers an active system is any self-powered moving device. In automotive engineering, an active system is an intelligent system that can self-control its working parameters in real time. The two main working parameters of any suspension system are its length of travel and speed of movement, i.e., its elasticity coefficient and its damping coefficient. Therefore, mounting computer-controlled jacks in the four corners of a car in order to raise or lower its body in a fancy manner will not automatically produce an active suspension system. Even more, body lean in itself has nothing to do with damping or wheel travel. Aldo L (talk) 08:08, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
