The F Sport has the following unique mechanical parts:

Springs (Height is same, but rate is presumably different)
Dampers (Presumably firmer)
Rear Sway Bar (Presumably firmer) w/ associated bushings
Brake Booster (Presumably sportier?)
Pedal Travel Sensor and Pedal (after 2/16) this one is interesting. Don't know what it would do. Perhaps recalibrated? Also interesting it's introduced at a later date.
Steering Control Module (Presumably sportier steering/recalibrated?)

And model year differences for safety/structural enhancements for MY 15 cars:
A-Pillar Door Hinge Inner Reinforcement (for small angle crashes)
Center crossmember at the floor (not sure why this is different for 15, but it is) Can presume it's for general structural rigidity, but it is an odd update, but one nonetheless. It goes all the way across the car in the center.

Notes: If there's more, I'll update. If you know more, feel free to add.
Also I do not see a difference between F sport suspension parts prior to facelift.
I do see 2014 (all models) got a revised top strut nut. Not sure why.
2014 saw a revised intake manifold.

Don't know if it's the same for 14-17, but with the minimal amounts of changes for this car, maybe it's the same?
