the drop difference between awd & rwd
Hello. i've been wondering this for a little bit now. i have an is350 awd and im planning on lowering it. i just want to get rid of the gap. im not planning on doing any other crazy mods to my car either. just an everyday clean and simple 2is. so the question is should i just go with f sport springs? or should i make an investment in coils? and also if i did go with the f sport springs would my car be at the same height of a rwd thats on f sport springs? or would it be higher? budget isn't really a problem for me but i just dont really want to spend so much for something so small like this. plus i have to order from the states and the cad dollar is pretty **** right now haha. i need your guys' opinion PLEASE AND THANK YOU for your help

Springs are the same and the edrop will be pretty much the same.
For a lot of people the F sport springs aren't low enough. I had H&R springs and would recommend them. Rode nice and the drop was perfect.

Having F-Sport springs on AWD, it lowers the car to a wheel gap that of a 2IS RWD; height wise (ground to the roof of the car) it is slightly lower than a 3IS RWD F-sport. Couple that with 18's then you will definitely reduce the wheel gap a bit more if killing wheel gap is what you are going for.

Go coil overs. Don't make the same mistake like me. I bought swift spring for a moderate drop. Then once on it I want it more lower to get the fender gap out. Plus on springs the front sits higher than the rear. Another thing is u can adjust the dampening on coils. Once the gap is gone. You get that clean fresh look.
