I came from a 08 ISF to a MY11 facelift and the suspension is night and day better than the 08. I’ve also tracked it and it was brilliant too.
I've heard the earlier cars were even worse (harder). Mine would crash into potholes and it was a complete pain on long journeys. We have just returned from a weeks trip to France in it and it is transformed. The suspension is still "taut" but it handles the bumps and potholes much better now....
@@SNORKYMEDIA I’d say your oem suspension was possibly faulty, how many miles on your ISF? Mine handles the bumps so well, yes it’s firm but not crashy etc. The designer changed the ISF every year as you probably know to try and improve it and the MY11 suspension and all the changes that came with it were the ones that were received the best. I’m glad you’ve found a set up that suits you though, maybe a Lexus that’s not an F car would suit your requirements better.
@@GRfourfun mine has 34000 on lt and is serviced by Lexus as it still has extended warranty till next March. The Tein setup suits us great now as I can adjust it to suit the journey
@@GRfourfun When you say the "MY11 suspension and all the changes that came with it were the ones that were received the best". Best for what? Best for the street or the track? These cars are basically designed for the street and used more than 95% the time on the street. As a former race driver I appreciate the handling of a good set up, but I live in California, which is rated along with DC as the state with the worst roads. I'm going to have my 2011 softened up like GRfourfun stated about his ISF.
