Default F-Sport Adaptive Variable Suspension

Can any F-Sport owner comment on how much the suspension varies between the different modes (Eco, Normal, Sport, Sport+).

The documentation implies that it only changes in Sport+ mode, but I've read reviews that state it varies between all modes. Other reviewers say that even in the softest setting it's still stiffer than the regular RC-350.

If it’s the same setup as the GS then the suspension only changes in sport +

Sport mode changes the transmission shift points. Sport + also changes the suspension dampening. I have never used Eco mode - shame on me I guess.

My Experience is that in all other modes other than sport/Sport+
The ride comfort is soft but firm.

Sport/Sport+ (to me) The Ride stiffens up tight, like my old SC300. You can feel every bump and roll of the road. Great for Touring and Road Course, if you are that type.

Last to say, yes switching to sport and sport+. Does change the shift points with the transmission. The car will actually down shift and start running in the power-band for better acceleration.
