no it changes over to a different damper setting so its stiffer at all times in that mode. Its not an active suspension, on something like the new Benz S550. Its an adaptive suspension meaning different modes. Active is when it is actively changing on its own based on road conditions.

You guys are honest though, I just couldn't justify spending $4000 on something that didn't increase performance in any way. Then I read today that you couldn't get ventilated seats in F-Sport? plus seats are worse, and no fog lights, and that grille, just not for me.

definitey a bunch of give and take for the F Sport version (also auto tilt on reverse mirrors)...but the transmission improved a lot compared to 2IS...and that is just part of the performance increase...

I do feel the difference of Sport and Sport+, mostly the steering tightening up and the suspension getting stiffer from the AVS.
off topic...
But that's not why I bought the F-Sport, it was for...
exactly this. Add the comfort of the F-Sport seats as well. After two accidents my back is sensitive to horrible seats and the F-Sport seats were by far the best. After spending a month in the non-f-sport loaner I couldn't wait for my car to come in and the biggest reason was the seats.
Losing out on butt coolers was maybe the biggest loss, but I rarely used them in my previous car anyway so I figure there is a limit to how prententious I need to be with my car. The fog light delete is a bonus for me (I know I'm alone here) but I always hated how cheap the plastic housing looked on the foglights. They do need to allow more options on the F-Sport trim though, such as the memory seats. As someone else said, Lexus must build cars for people with short legs because it is really hard finding a good distance where my legs aren't bunched up but I still have comfortable reach to the steering wheel so when the dealership messes up my seat config it's annoying.
