F Sport Suspension

Not exactly... the old sport package had a ton of additional features they no longer include.
F-sport as a vehicle option now is more an appearance package that happens to throw in the old sport package suspension.
.4 inches lower in the front, no change to the rear. Gives a nice raked look.
The spring are firmer all around but only lower in the front...shocks are firmer all around as well.
Yes, which makes them vastly more preferable to the "f-sport" lowering springs IMHO, from a performance/handling perspective anyway. Folks approaching entirely from a "slam that bizitch!" perspective might disagree.

I like the f sport package more than the old sport package, not sure what it doesn't include that used to be on it but the interior changes make it totally worth it, I couldn't care less about the wheels/springs because I have coilovers and weds sports waiting to go on.

All the missing stuff- not so much.
What's missing from the old sport package?
Vented seats
auto-dim and auto-tilt side mirrors
memory seats
rain sensing wipers (a feature I thought was idiotic till I owned a car with it- now I -hate- driving in the rain in any car that lacks it)
power tilt steering
HIDs (on the 250- 350 gets em standard for 2011 regardless of package)
In exchange for all of that you gain.... some trim pieces you could already buy and add yourself... and different (non-vented) seats.

Ventilated seats are a fair sacrifice for the new inserts, beats hot leather/sliding around on leather(love the bolsters) hids are standard like you said, tilt mirrors annoy me Haha. The other things seem more minor to me so its all opinion I guess
And changing the headliner/a b c pillars is $$$ down the line

I also really really like the new F-sport seats!
