2017 was the first year with AVS and it was designed specifically for the RCF with 30-way adjustment (they were different from what IS/GS had in previous years) so there could have been a design flaw.

 

It's less of a design flaw and more of a program flaw. If my theory proves to be correct, it would mean the computer is changing the dampening WAY too quick under specific situations. The shock itself is no different from other shocks except for adjustable valving. The shock size itself, rod length etc are all the same, but a computer controls the dampening (as you already know)

 

Got the issue fixed covered under warranty. No questions asked and quick replacement. Lexus service is the best.

 

I was expecting that, to be honest with you. In 4 years, I have never been disappointed in my dealership. How does the ride feel in sport+ vs normal mode?

 

it feels about the same or maybe slightly stiffer. It could because the blown shock is not affecting the ride quality anymore. I did check from eco to sport+ and I can feel a stiffer ride as I increase the mode.

 

The only difference you will feel the difference in shock dampening between 2 modes: Normal (ECO, NORM, SPORT S) vs. Sport S+.

 

I had no idea lol. No wonder there didn't feel much difference from eco to sport mode. Now I know!

 

Some RC Fs have a comfort mode? I have never seen one, interesting.

 

No RCF has comfort mode. Only normal, ECO, Sport, Sport+. I think it is a generic document that covers other models as well including base model RCs etc.

 

What the hell is Comfort anyways? Lol. I mean what does it do for other models?

 

Interesting, I have never seen an RC of any sort with a comfort mode lmao

 

I googled it. Apparently, LS500 has a comfort mode.

 

Makes sense for the LS but they can have that we don’t need that on the F lol.

 

LOL that is true.

 

No, this chart just expands on those Lexus vehicles with AVS and comfort mode. LS and LC specifically.
