Default IS F seats versus 350 seats

Is it just me, or do the ISF seats sit about an inch lower than the 250/350 seats? The F interior seems bigger than my 350.

my wife and I don’t like the 350 seats, so we may swap them out for F seats, or just buy racing seats for the F and put the F seats in the 350... but I’m a little worried I’ll end up with uncomfortable racing seats in the F. Lumbar support matters to me. Any recommendations on comfortable racing seats and defeating the airbag lights / keeping the airbag system working well?

Coming from a 350 to the F, I feel (as does my wife) that the F seat profile does grant a hair more room in the interior. As for height.. I've never felt the F seats were any lower or higher than the 350 seats within the adjustment capability.

It does seem roomier. I know the 350 has vented seats and the F does not because there is not enough room, much made me assume the F seats sit lower. Trying to find some like new F seats has been a bit challenging.

There are IS F's with vented seats, just not in all markets.

^^^^Do a search and you'll see. He was a parts manager for a Lexus dealer for many years, and is our go to man when any correct Lexus correct information is needed. You can be sure when Jeff posts something it's fact

Jeff, do the F seats actually sit lower than 350 seats? Or is this just an illusion in my head?

Would you be able to weigh both and give us the stats on each?

I will weigh them both when I swap them out. I wish there was a local speed shop with some racing seat options. Unfortunately Indy isn’t a bustling import town.

That is super surprising. Even here in the Middle East we get them heated seats.
