Does SPORT (S) mode stiffen up the suspension in AVS cars or only in S+ mode?

Nope. The F-AVS developed for the RCF does the same thing as what my 2019 IS350 F-Sport does in AVS where it only stiffens up in SPORT+ while it remains dynamic in any other mode. I believe, it is changing all the time in all other settings (32 way, I believe).

Right. Okay, that's what I thought too, so same as the ones for the GS and RC with AVS then.

Very odd set up. Either an oversight in the programming, or Lexus is thinking that nobody would want 8th while in S+?
I do wish that I had full individual control of suspension, steering, and throttle response settings like I did in my 2SS/1LE Camaro.

How fast were you going when trying to go to 8th in S+ initially? And how long were you diving to cover 30miles?
