Default IS AWD vs RWD ride height??

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any idea regarding to ride height between AWD model vs RWD model? Is there any noticeable difference? Does AWD model sits higher as usual?

According to the specs, both are identical in height, however, surprisingly, the AWD's ground clearance is less at 5.1" vs 5.3", probably because of the AWD components protruding 0.2" lower to the ground.

Same ride height? Interesting. I wonder if lowering the Gen3 will cause the same vibration problems if lowered too low. If Lexus did end up fixing the drive angle problem with a new suspension design, I'm trading mine in ASAP!
