Hey guys, been a long time lurker and it's time to pull the trigger on an F Sport. My question is has anyone had experience lowering their F Sport AWD to a more acceptable height? I can deal with the differences (rear independent stability, smaller front brakes, non-staggered wheels) on the AWD but the stance is what I'm having a hard time getting over. I'm finding it hard to find exactly what I want in RWD but a few outstanding options in AWD that fits the bill.
I'm in VA so honestly no need for AWD. However the safety component is appealing with a growing family. However, I'm a true enthusiast who will be utilizing the F Sport in all it's glory.
If the AWD didn't look like it was 4x4, I'd already have one at this point.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the info over the past many months. I'm ready to jump in!

It'll be night and day! Are coilovers in the works from a manufacturer? I'd prefer them over springs as well.
