You need to just drive to CA and show up on their door step
Two options right now, we get a big list for AWD owners who will 100% buy a set if made and possibly even shell out the money before production to guarantee interest.

OR I just get my car payed shipped to CA which I'd probably be willing to do because I don't use it on a daily basis. LOL.

We should bring this thread to the attention of all vendors/companies etc.

No need,

I saw an IS250awd with student pass in front of one of the buildings with the big towers at Stanford this winter. Just go on a search and capture mission, we should rope out from a heli and get him/her by surprise as him/her come out of the building

I thought you had a rwd lol. I am definitely interested in this as well. Right now I just have Road Magnet springs but would love to add some coilovers to the setup.

I thought about trimming my springs a bit, but the issue of rear camber on the AWD becomes an issue. This could be what's holding up the coil overs.
With Air rides my guess is they assume you are tweeking the entire suspension anway so no big deal. Just my thought...

Good idea, road magnet should be willing to do it for me,, and kinda easy to access for me. Hell of alot closer then CA that's for sure. Maybe we should all contact them, or at least link them to our thread.

First I think our list need to grow...
