I do admit, Premium model is a little more pampering especially for the rear passengers. And I wish I could get adaptive headlights. But I perfer the black headliner and aluminum trim over wood.

Actually Premium and Luxury do not have 4 piston setups.
Standard comes with 2 piston calipers with 13.1 inch standard rotors. F Sport RWD comes with monoblock 4 piston calipers with 2 piece 14 inch rotors consisting of the lightweight aluminum hat that is fastened to the sliding section using an integrated pin for added airflow. Not many cars come with 2 piece rotors from the factory. Especially proper ones with aluminum hats.
Oh. And VGRS is nice too.

That may be... But all things being equal. Driver, conditions, track surface, etc. a F Sport would win on the twisties.

i am just saying in reality, it takes a lot to really gain from the extra on the fsport. it's just like car to car it looks like the m4 is faster than the rcf, but you got bunch of people defending that in reality the cars are so close to each other

Oh also, according to the package list, the AVS on the FSport is FSport tuned. Indicating that the AVS system on the Luxury and FSport models are not the same. So it's not just brakes. Therefore if you want to do a FSport conversion you would have to do the brakes, VGRS, tire/wheels, and either shocks or some how integrate the FSport shock tuning into the PCM if the shocks are the same with different tuning.
A few other differences...
The F SPORT package for the GS 350 is a comprehensive chassis enhancement, with sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch wheels and larger front brakes with high-friction brake pads. In addition to its firmer springs, thicker stabilizer bars and special bushings, the F SPORT package equips the GS 350 with AVS damping system and a variable gear ratio steering system.
