To be honest there can be better springs out there for the awd lol.

F sport is 1~ all around, but on the awd the actual is like 1" front and 1.5" ~ 2" rear so the butt sags.

H&R is like the opposite, its like 1.5" front and 1" rear so the back is kinda high.

Tein gives it a nice 1.5"~2" all around which is the best looker to me. But like all springs with the exception of H&R for the AWD, the rear will always drop a bit more so the drop is still butt heavy.

All the 350/250 springs work on the AWD, but the actual drop differs, so you cant go by whats on the box anymore.

That's why I didnt do some aggressive offset front wheels like I did with the back, really flush wheels with fender gaps looks 4x4

^^ lol yeah, i had tein, eibach, ksport and d2 on my altima

and i loved tein the most...

I want a good drop because from the dealer the car sits 4x4 lol, maybe such little rims and tires?

I think Tein will be my choice, with little sag in the rear wont bother me that much..
