Default RS*R Coil install. Losing AVS

Hey guys. Just had RS*R Sport-i's delivered for my 2014 IS350 AWD F. For a while I was under the impression the AWD did not include AVS. But now i'm fairly certain it does. Either way. After I install the coils will I throw any errors or codes since the AVS will not be functioning?

Thanks!

no error codes thrown when you have AVS unplugged.
The ECU's in the car don't care. It is only sending output signal to the AVS motors to spin the dampening of the stocks.

Honestly wouldn't be able to tell you.
It got unplugged within a month of ownership of the car. and within that time frame i did not really have it in sports+ mode much.
I personally like a stiffer dampening car so having it at one setting that is more stiff is just fine with me.

I've had the car a couple months and really havent gotten to use Sport+ much. I'd also prefer to drive a stiffer suspension all the time. I think i'll be very happy when I get these installed. Thanks for the insight

Coilovers is the way to go... This electronic suspension management has a long way to go... Especially for cars at 40k... AVS is still good tho for someone not needing a suspension upgrade

Thanks! I was just a little nervous about notifications and the ECU not being happy something is unplugged. Sounds like it will not affect a thing. I'm extremely excited to install the RS*R's

Yes just unplug the AVS and you will be good to go.
No annoying warning lights.
