so i finally caved in to modding bug...just wanted to know what the majority of other AWD owners are riding on? i most likely am going to go with the f-sport springs, dont want to drop it too much. also, are most of you AWDers riding a staggared setup? or the same wheel all around? if i do get the same size all around, would it look funny?

I upgraded my wheels. I had the stock 17's on them. I was about to go staggered but decided not to since there were mixed reviews on here about running staggered on AWD. You can also run spacers on your wheels.

I will be going Tein S-tech within about a week. Picking up the springs from Passnu2 today after work, then i just need to find time to get them put on. I plan on ordering new wheels this winter and i am going to go same size all around 18'' nothing crazy.

I have Volk Racing RE30 18 x 9 +35 Offset all around and I'm pretty happy atm.
Soon I'll be on some springs (but I wish SOMEONE would make coilovers so I could get THOSE instead). Going to order TTE springs from Carson Lexus unless I find'em cheaper elsewhere (which I doubt)
I said Eff it to the F-Sport Springs and installing everything at a dealer because you know what? Eff it. The labor is way too ridiculous. I can save so much money and spend it on the paint job for my body/lip kit AND get a detail over at Chris's Glimmer Glass.
I'll install the F-Sport Rear Sway bar (AWD) the same time to save money on labor so I won't know which mod is giving me the most benefit in the Handling department.

Ernel! Do it!
I was reading this in another thread. Same tire size but different offset to have the rears poke out.
(F) 19x8.5 +30 offset with 225-35-19
(R) 19x8.5 +15 offset with 225-35-19
This way, you have the staggered look by using a lower offset in back, but you keep the tires sizes exactly the same.

I run mine on a non staggered 18" setup lowered on the F sports.
The F might not seem to lower much because the spec says roughly 1" drop, but apparently the AWD is heavier and it lowers it more lol
