Maybe a noob question but IS250/350 F-Sport models, would you be losing the sport-tuned suspension when you install coil-overs/lowering springs?

Actually a good question.

On models with AVS (adaptive variable suspension ) which have semi-autonomous shock adjustments ie IS350 F-Sports, yes you will lose the AVS function if you go full coilover. You will not lose the adjustable shock function IF you just go with lowering springs but keep the shocks and their electrical connection to the car's suspension CPU.
