Default What does "Euro-Tuned" get ya?

I just received a marketing flyer from Lexus that describes, among other things, a "GS Sportdesign" model that includes a "Euro-Tuned Sport Suspension". I'll be checking with a dealer later this week for details, but thought I seek feedback from this forum first. Anyone know if there's anything of significance involved?

The concensus around here is that the "euro" suspension is just l-tuned shocks.

Does it not also include the L-Tuned steering ECU?

Default changung springs on GS-SD

If a stock car is lowered only by changing the springs, the ride would be "bouncy".
Since the SportDesign already has the harder, sportier L-tuned shocks, can you lower it by changing the springs only and NOT become "bouncy" ?
Thanks.
