Default Tired of waiting for springs for the AWD F-sport. I bought the RWD ones

Ya, so after about 6 months of waiting, I said screw it and purchased a cheap set of RWD Springs (Megan Racing).

After a couple weeks of driving I've noticed no significant problems. The ride quality is exactly the same as the stock AWD springs. The drop was 1.5 all around, and my car looks amazing. I couldn't be any happier.

Thanks! I'm pretty much done doing mods. Maybe I'll get the Wald Kit after a raise

My boards don't really attract much insight as all xD

Anyone have any experience driving a AWD Model with RWD springs? Any severe downsides because I cannot see/feel any on mine.

I can't think of anything detrimental that could happen with just a spring change. Might be a good idea to call the spring manufacturer and ask them if there is any significant differences between RWD and AWD setups and if there may be any lasting damage by using RWD springs on your car...

I just installed Tanabe's on my AWD Fsport last week and noticed that it rides a lot rougher. It corners a little better but I can feel most of the bumps on the road now, unlike before.

Hmm, mine doesn't ride any rougher. I don't really feel bumps worse that I've felt when the stock springs were in..

Cant really see from the pics posted, but are the gaps even on all 4 corners? Some people report that the front sits higher than the rear.
