F-Sport suspension
Does the F-Sport sit lower than non-F-Sports?
The brochure says "F-Sport tuned suspension". Is it a lower spring? Are the struts firmer?
There's also the "F-Sport lowering springs" accessory, which I see is 1" lower, but not sure if that's compared to F-Sport or standards. (https://parts.lexus.com/p/Lexus_2017...TR0777110.html)
I prefer the ride to be as soft as possible, but do like the slightly lower look.
Edited for info.

Your right about that. I have 2014 base trim. So lowered mine to same height as Fsport. Still using the base shocks/struts. Added H-brace front bottom just like fsport. And I think is rides just about the same. difference in corning and handling aspect. Base/fsport.

both same lowering height aftermarket gave the spring rate info, the Fsport didn't have the info think Lexus propriety info. the info is crucial to know. determines how soft or stiff springs are. highly recommend the h-brace if lowering using either one. so honestly almost year they been the ct. really for me it came down to cost. the aftermarket is great and better than i imagine.

I had the blue F Sport springs on my 2016 F Sport. It's firmer and lower compared to stock.
As far as the standard F Sport spring, I believe it's the same ride height as non F Sport. But firmer. And the F Sport dampers are firmer too.

Blue F Sports are about 1" lower than both F Sport and Stock which are identical IIRC. I think there's pics if you look around in my torque specs thread for the spring install
