hello, first of all id like to take this time and introduce my self, my name is nehal and i recently got a 2009 GS450h so you guys will be seeing me around the forum quite abit...im coming from a 2006 IS 250 and have been on the forum for quite some time now...

so i was wondering if anyone can tell me what happens when flipping the suspension switch to "sport", i tried it but couldnt really feel a difference...
(im posting this here, bc im not sure if this feature is found on the non hybrid)
Thanks in advance

 

it adjusts the dampening of the shock and tighten it up a little bit. on the other hand when in comfort it makes it softer

the change is very very mild, i could feel it on uneven roads, but let's just say i really have to "feel" it in order to feel it

congrats on your new car!

 

oh ok, i checked the lexus website and they had a very brief few sentences on it... didnt really say what it does

thank you

 

Congrats on the new car!

I find that I can only really tell the difference on the highway. When in comfort on the highway, there is a little bit of a bounce, where as in Sport, it has very little spring/damper compression.

 

It might just be my mind playing tricks, but when I switch it to "Sport" the car is more responsive. I noticed that the KWH guage moves a lot higher under slight throttle than before. Car is smoother on long highway trips due to the suspension and i don't have to push on the gas as hard.

 

pressing on the sport button only changes the suspension settings, it doesn't change anything on the throttle or gas pedal response. choosing the PWR option will adjust the shift point and throttle
