Sorry Guys,
major difficulty with getting the files loaded up to our website. The videos have been edited and broken up into several differwent segments, however the file size is still quite large, which has made it difficult transfer.

We are shooting for release by Monday / Tuesday.

Thanks for your interest and patience.

Will the IS-F will feature an adaptive suspension based on the different Mode settings ?

As per M3 specifications :

M Drive allows drivers to tailor four parameters of the vehicle (stability control, suspension, engine mapping, and steering) to their driving requirements.

What all things can be Configured in IS-F ? I know VDIM can be switched off completely..... but apart from that what else changes when we change the 3-Modes in IS-F.

Unfortunately that seems to be it, its not an m5 where you have 10 stiffness settings and they all feel the same along with the 10 "transmission shift pattern" that all shift the same. It gets down the point and thats it. Once again I think . . . it would be nice to have ride stiffness that works but again I dont no if there is an adaptive suspension. Lets hope so ? ? Flipside should no along with the guys that actually got a ride in the darn things, any info guys ?

I wonder if it would be nice if they put the Active Power Stabilizer Suspension System on the IS-F...or does that system not really do much compared to a standard suspension system?

That wont be available on the IS-F, but the new IS-F's suspension is tuned properly for the size and weight of the car. If anything most people will leave the suspension alone, but for those real hardcore enthusiasts, you will see aftermarket companies producing parts for this car. Keep on the lookout for SEMA this year...you'll be shocked. Lexus is definitely taking the pursuit of the performance market seriously.
