I am currently on the market for a 2013+ LS460 AWD w/ the ML Package but I am debating if I should go for the FSport or Non-FSport.

I like the FSport for the lower suspension but I hear alot of people are having issues with the squeaky Brembo brakes. So I can't decide if I should go with the non-FSport to avoid the issue.

Does anyone know if the Adaptive Variable Air Suspension with VGRS, adds Comfort and Sport S+ drive modes option is equivalent to the FSport suspension?

Any other opinions or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

There will be the same options available to the non-fsport, but the feel will be different.
I.e.) Sport S+ will firm up the suspension of both cars, but the F sport I imagine will be more "responsive" and "sporty".


According to Lexus:
"The available Adaptive Variable Air Suspension offered on the LS replaces conventional coil springs with electronically controlled air springs and adaptive shock absorbers, for unparalleled ride comfort and control. The system automatically adjusts for road conditions and driving style, and also tailors its response based on the driver-selectable Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport S/S+ drive modes. The system in the LS F SPORT goes a step further, with a lowered stance and track-tuning by the same engineers who developed the suspension found in the LFA supercar."

Yeah the suspension on the non F-Sport isn't going to be as firm. I've never driven an F Sport LS, but the standard LS doesn't have much sport in its DNA

I noticed you have the non FSport, any specific reason why you didn't go for the FSport?

The F Sport isn't what I'm personally looking for out of a large luxury car. I don't want the firmer suspension, want the wood trim, etc.
