2017 Suspension
Last week I replaced my 2015 with a 2017.
In addition to different base rims (still not sure about them), it came with the new variable suspension which makes a significant difference in the ride. The soft setting is definitely much more comfortable (a bit similar to an RC350) particularly over rough roads, while the firm setting (Sport+ only) still isn't quite as firm as on the 2015. Haven't had a chance to really test out the handling yet, so I don't know if that's been compromised in any way, but have to say its an improvement for my regular commute.

I don't always want the engine and suspension on the same setting. The actual shock control unit is on top of each shock, just like in the 350, looks the same. Per the website the RCF has "F-AVS" with more adjustment levels, though.

Nice color choice, by the way!

Yes, it is, switching the dial to "Sport+" gets you the firmer setting. No other option, unfortunately....

For those who want to lower their suspension, the '15 and 16' preferred. RCF aftermarket is already pretty light on options. Hard to see these guys making yet another kit for a super low volume seller with the increased complexity.
For those who want to stay stock, cool, though I personally don't like adjustable suspensions.
