Default standard vs f-sport suspension

Does anybody know the difference between the standard 3IS suspension vs the 3IS F Sport suspension. Was originally going to by standard IS but may opt for sport based on suspension and interior upgrades.

These are the only two differences for the RWD 350 f-sport

1) Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) with electronically adjustable shock absorbers
2) Variable Gear-Ratio Steering, 2.5 - 3.5 turns, lock to lock (not available on AWD)

the 250 f-sport gives you the interior mods while the 350 f-sport gives you the interior mods plus half of the actual "sport" of the vehicle which is the suspension. the other half being the 8-speed gbox which the regular 350 gives you anyway.

good luck...

The red F sport seats alone were enough to upgrade for me

Not quite correct. The 250 F-sport is not just cosmetics - it also has a sport-tuned suspension as with the 350 F-Sport, but without the AVS as you stated.

Does anybody know if there is a difference in ride height between standard and f-sport?

VGRS is not standard for F-sport btw. It's $400 option.

It's identical across the board for RWD Standard, Luxury & F SPORT. AWD models are taller.
