the f-sport springs fit all models. but since the awd rides high, dropping it an inch or so will only make it look like other IS ride heights.

so your saying its not worth it for me to put this on?

the car should come with this stock, awd looks terrible IMO stock height.

With this the car looks so much better.

Your comment was neither helpful nor needed.

Hey, leo throw the springs on. They are going to make the stance of the AWD look that much better, and also give you a more performance/stiffer feel of the car.

They look good, and make sure you post pics when your done!

That's just the start, soon you'll be looking at other F-Sport stuff...they're contagious.

Here is my AWD with the F sports.
