Hey guys, I really want to illiminate some of the wheel gap I have on my AWD. What kind of springs do you guys suggest? I don't have much money for Coil's right now. Please feel free to reply. Thanks.

Unfortunately with the AWD if you lower it too much most of the time you get a vibration/wobble when you are at a stoplight. Something to do with the axles being stretched I believe. If you want a drop that's subtle you should be okay and not get that. I'm not sure if Fsport springs are available for AWD since I haven't looked but they're the mildest.

The vibration when your at a stop is not bad imo. For springs you have a few options, i think there is a thread dedicated towards the various options for springs. The three main ones off the top of my head from least drop to most drop would be: Fsport springs-1 inch drop, H&R springs-1.4 inch drop, and Road Magnet springs-2 inch drop. All of them can be purchased for the AWD model. I personally think Fsports dont lower enough. H&R is a pretty decent drop, perfect for daily driver. Road magnets are a really nice drop, but some people dont like riding that low. I would choose H&R, but i suggest you to search and look at before and after pictures. Then decide what you like

Welcome to CL! H&R springs, tints, lighting, painted calipers and a front lip are a good start. After that, I'd start saving up for rims.
That's funny about your little bro. When I was in high school my younger brother borrowed my car (an Infiniti G20) for the first time and blew up my engine. So... he got a brand new car and I got my mom's old car, and I was the one with the good grades. Fail.

Don't even think about running that setup!! Haha with th AWD setup you can't run a staggered fitment unless you make sure the tires have the same rolling diameter. Kind of confusing to explain but if they aren't then eventually it will ruin your AWD system and cause costly repairs. I would recommend going with 19s with H&Rs too.

Yeah you can do staggered but you get a larger tire selection to chose from if you use 19's and not 20's. With 20's you need a 25series rear tire (285/25/20) and only one or two tire companies make a 275/25/20) But check this thread out. It will help you out alot.
