Default ISx50 with F sport package

Curious to get your thoughts as Lexus website states that the ISx50 with the F Sport Package comes with "F Sport-tuned and lowered" front and rear suspension. Is this any different from the "sport suspension" from the sport package or is this actually the F sport suspension kit or something totally different?

Im honestly so disappointed in the new "F-Sport Package" I was hoping it to have all the F-sport parts or something cool but the only thing thats different is the rims and suspension...

It doesn't even come with F-sport exhaust.

I wonder how much it would cost if it had all the F-Sport parts...

@Bam: When you do look at the F-sport specs & data, and the detailed specs for the isF (at the Lexus website), they are exactly the same...which leads me to believe that you get the same suspension an isF gets when you get an isx50 with an f package.

I just bought an is250 with the f sport package. I don't think its lowered (as much as i imagine people in this forum wants it to be) and now after reading is says it has a stabilizer bar that comes with it. I open my hood twice and never saw one for the front unless its under the cover. I will check this out and let you know if there is a stabilizer bar. maybe this is one way to see if you get exactly what an isf gets with the fsport package. Question is, does the isf have a stabilizer bar too?

And what about the parts that they did not have to install because they installed F-sport parts? Are you not supposed to deduct the cost of those parts, eh? LOL

If you do that math, it cannot be that much more expensive to have F-sport from Factory. But mktg may think otherwise and still flap you with all the costs.

The F Sport package is more an appearance package than anything else.

Uh...what?

First, the IS-F has no relation to F-sport products other than they both are sold by Lexus.

Second, do you mean sway bars?

because the ISx50 has them from the factory regardless of package. Front and rear. The F-sport bars are larger and replace the original ones.

(The IS-F has sway bars too, but they are neither the standard ISx50 ones nor are they the F-sport bars)
