Question re:2023 ES 350
I notice the base model does not come with performance dampers. The Luxury model does. I’m interested in maximum comfort and soft ride. So, when the Luxury model’s dampers are set to maximum comfort, do you wind up with the comfort level you get in the base model, which is not changeable. That is, do the dampers simply increase handling ability in the Luxury model.. Without hem, do you have the stock comfort level of the base model?t

I believe the Lexus “build” web site lists adjustable dampers among the items of standard equipment. It suggests luxury model and ultra luxury model. So I wonder do the dampers make the ride firmer than the (base) suspension or even more comfortable than my wonderful base/premium package car ride?

So, the question is, did they drop them for the 23 model year? Hmmm....

I stand corrected. Those dampers are listed as standard equipment on the 2022 not the 2023. You certainly possess and demonstrate a thorough knowledge of our cars’ mechanicals and I appreciate the explanation. So let me ask again, “Do you think those dampers actually increase the already incredibly smooth and quiet ride built into my 2021 ES 350 base with Premium package. Frankly, I can’t imagine how the ride could be any smoother and quieter but I guess it should theoretically be so in a 2022 UL model with those dampers. Have you driven a 2022 350 ES with and without those dampers? Am I missing something significant?
Did you find out if they’re also standard on the 2023 UL and any other level?

A couple of pictures should be clearer, try this link to the NX dampers, I believe they are in essence the same technology.

These lateral damper eliminate some kind of vibration. Nothing to do with the noise.

Hence, they came to the conclusion that the F Sport only provides sporty cosmetics, and no actual advantage to the handling, but a much firmer ride.
