Default No electronic dampening in the RC-F Model?

Not sure why I thought the RC-F would have Electronic Dampening... doesn't the F-Sport RC-350 come with it? ... not sure where I read it or why I thought the F had it but the on the upside, it has made it easier to run coil overs without having to worry about suspension errors.

Am I the only one that though this?...

you are correct, it does not have AVS like the F Sport models have.

During my drive, I felt the increase in stiffening compared to my 2012 ISF, but the seat better absorbed the bumps in the road.

I was surprised.

I always wished my IS-F had a "comfort/sport" switch for this. It's ultimately why I got rid of it. It was a little rough on the daily roundtrip commute of 70+ miles. Didn't really want to roll the dice on coilovers either. I kept it for 3 years but decided enough was enough. I really wish the RC-F had an adjustable suspension or AVS. If it did, I'd strongly consider it for a daily driver (I'd never track it).

I found it to be more comfortable than expected. Take it for a test drive on a rough road, if you have not already.

I am interested in your opinion. I have a 2012 ISF that is being traded in March.
