RWD rear coil struts fit AWD?
Did anybody try installing rear OEM RWD coil struts on AWD? According to the Lexus catalog, RWD and AWD do not share rear coil struts. Also what about compatibility (unofficial) of 2013+ with 2009-2012?
I am switching from air suspension to standard as my low mileage OEM airs struts started to rattle which drives me crazy. I have already found front ones off 2013+ (though, they do not fit officially). There are many used coil struts available for RWD but not so many for AWD.

I checked some aftermarket rear struts and some specify RWD some don't. It seems that RWD rear coil struts, at least, can be mounted on AWD. I thought RWD and AWD trims were identical in the back. But then why rear coil struts are different?..

A short update, I decided not to risk and got front and rear spring struts off 2013+ AWD. It is my daily driver and do not have a spare car. I like coils so far...
I had disabled the suspension control ECU, however, it caused an AFS error code. It is caused by the way how AFS interfaces with the air suspension control ECU. Disabling the AFS control ECU solved issues with AFS errors. Hopes, it helps somebody as well.
