Default adaptive suspension

Thanks for pointing out the difference in the 2016/2017 with the adaptive suspension. I had just picked up both brochures from the dealer and did not read completely. through both of them because they said that there was no change in the 2017 model. That's why I thought I would go to the best source " Club Lexus " for some real knowledge. Hard to find many RCF owners near Cleveland, Ohio

I think what I'm hearing is that if I get the performance package then the adaptive suspension is not available with the 2017 models ? The price only drops at the end of the year, but then you are limited to what is available, but it's worth a try. If I can wait that long, lol

That's true it does make the car more unique, but they are all sharp looking and in Ohio they are not very common to see on the roads.

Adaptive suspension comes standard on all 2017 RCFs, whether you get the performance package or not. The performance package adds the Torque Vectoring Diff (TVD) and the carbon fiber roof/spoiler.

You might find dealers willing to sell you a 2017 at a reduced price now, Lexus has some relatively aggressive rebates going for the year end.

I also had an RC350 which I traded in after a few months for an RC-F. I ended up going to the dealer on the last business day of 2015 and didn't get hosed too bad.
