Default question for AWD IS 250 owners that lowered their cars

Thanks in advance your help. apparently nobody has installed the eibachs on an AWD IS250 so I'm about to play guinea pig and order a set of eibach pro kit springs for my 2007 IS250. i realize that most of the owners with the awd have gone with the tanabe nf210's but I would really like to achieve an even drop. if both sets fit an IS350 then they should be interchangable right?? i called to order the eibachs and the guy on the phone told me that the reason that eibach and tanabe don't list the awd is that when they are installed the traction control light comes on. sounds fishy to me but can anyone either confirm or deny this? thanks again.
