Are you referring to this statement?

I thought that was for the whole car, not just suspension. But I think this may includes some changes (or not) with suspension...

1. TC On, VSC Full
2. TC Off, VSC Full
3. TC On, VSC Sport
4. TC Off, VSC Sport
5. TC Off, VSC Off

That's my guess on those 5 settings.

Height
50.6
So it's shorter than the FR-S? Lower suspension I presume.

So there is no TC ON, VSC Off setting?

Yeah, there was no mentioning about the AVCS on the FA20, but serialk1ller keep mentioning that FA20 has cam phasing. I guess this is it, eh?

right! i just never found where he got that info, i might have missed it a long time ago. But it struct me odd that it wasn't brought up more often especially in the Toyota 86 Tokyo Unveiling Presentation video. Or the fact that plenty of articles and official documentation never listed DAVCS or any AVCS for that matter. I mean, wouldn't that feature be a big deal? Even if it doesn't have a lift profile it still promotes more economy for consumers looking at specs.

Just to annoy the Toyota fans...

Maybe Toyota didn't know since Subaru engineered everything! :P

I was merely thinking logically to see if they completely thought out all the possible options. God knows who may try to change into this option....
