Well, that too. Is there a suspension change when switching to Sport mode?
Right now, it feel like the only time the suspension changes is when S+ is engaged.

Correct, suspension only stiffens in S+ mode, and only throttle response changes in S mode. Though I can't recall if the steering wheel stiffness changes in S only mode.

Sport = throttle response
Sport+ = throttle response, steering wheel and suspension tighten up

More or less the suspension is only adjusted when switching to S+

With that being said, when switching to coilovers that are not AVS compatible, everything still functions the same as designed (throttle response, shifting speed, steering tightness etc.) except off course the suspension adjustment only felt when switching to S+

If the car dynamics with coilovers are improved and overall ride quality is close to stock, I assume it will feel like somewhere in between Normal and S+. Or maybe closer to S+ working full time.

< Noob here...just had my car for about 600 miles.

Isn't the F Sport plus for 350 with F Sport....I have a 250 F Sport....where is this mysterious F Sport +? I turn the dial right for F Sport. Where is this F Sport PLUS business at?

don't know if the 250 has a plus, but to go to plus you would turn the dial clockwise twice

Sport+ only comes in IS350 F-Sport models.

geez, i feel like a grandma after reading all you guys driving in sport/sport+ mode. i'm in ECO 90% of the time...lol

hahaha I have 550 miles on her now and have only been in Eco 80% of the time and normal the other 20%. I will have to try out the Sport and Sport+ soon. Always have had passengers, want to wait till I have the car to myself to open it up.

I am not a fan of how the car behaves in Sport/+ when in automatic/drive mode. It's not very daily driver friendly. The car upshifts and down shifts when I don't want it to. I prefer selecting my own gears for that reason. This is my first automatic car ever.
