Default Any changes to 2010 F suspension/ride quality?

I have seen a few posts in here not referencing the 2010 model when they talk about the harsh suspension. They only mention the '08 and '09. Is anyone aware of improvements to the 2010 suspension? Or did suspension improvements start with 2011?

2011 I believe, 2010 did get the real deal mechanical LSD though.

Suspension improvements were done to the 2011 and also 2012. Shock dampening and bushings were changed. The front knuckle camber angles were changed for improved feel.

I test drove a 2010 and now own a 2012 my opinion on the two as far as ride quality:

2010 - Too sporty its borderline harsh IMO...

2012 - Compared to the 2010, it was a very significant difference. It gave the same sporty drive and feel as the 2010 but with the comfort of what Lexus is known for, it makes the drive more enjoyable

they told me when i bought my '11 that they redesigned the suspension for that year........and were so proud of it. All i could think about was ripping it out and putting some coilover's in it though lol.
