Default 2013 F Sport Equipment

I've tried searching for this, so forgive me if it's been discussed (and point me to the thread). I just got a 2013 350 F-Sport, and know from the Lexus descriptions (which are a bit non-specific) that the suspension and steering have be made more "sporty". But—what are the specific enhancements? Is the change to the steering the standard F-Sport ECU option (that would switch to sport mode when the PWR switch is engaged), or is it a simpler re-tuning? What are the specific suspension changes? Are they the same stabilizers that would be the add-on F-sport parts? I'm assuming the intake and exhaust are stock 350. Besides the obvious cosmetic changes to the exterior and interior, are there other differences?

Thanks in advance.

For second gen is350 f sport was cosmetic with options you add on. Fsport springs. Fsport intake etc.
All 2nd gen is350 accelerate the same. Turn off traction. Brake torque to 1800-2000 rpm. Dont put in performance mode. Just keep the car in drive. Dont use paddle shifters. 0-60 from 4.7 to 5.2 depending on cars condition. And traction as well as tires

I think most second gen is350 f sport opted for suspension upgrades on option list
