That said, what's driving the price up so high? Am I missing something? Is there more HP???
The price for the package is not expensive at all for what it gives you.

The problem is you HAVE to get a bunch of other options to get it...

Sucks you can't just get a base model nothing on it + F-sport package

Love that color. It's a damn shame they didn't really lower it much with the F-sport springs. A shame.

I have to double check, not sure if the F-SPORT package comes with the springs...I think only the SE...according to my printout it doesnt mention springs or sways

I will find out for certain next week

No kidding. That doesn't make much sense to me, does it? Let us know what you find!

you're right. according to the lexus site and the announcement, the F-sport package comes with a tuned/revised suspension set up, but no F-sport accessory suspension parts. The SE is the one that comes with the actual F-sport springs and F-sport sway bar.

btw, i'm loving the CT even more with the F-sport package and SE! well done Lexus! congrats to those getting it!

This cannot be true can it?!? I was just about to order F Sport package. If this is true, I'd rather get a base model, and install F accessories when they arrive. I don't want to spend 4k just to get a slightly revised suspension. I realize there are other extras, but most are cosmetic except the moonroof which I don't care for anyway.

The F-sport has other things that are pretty nice and the package is worth the money IMO, but if you are keen on the suspension bits just get a zero content base model (in blue of course) and install the suspension bits separately like you mentioned.
