Default Putting RSR Down Rwd springs on a AWD

Has anyone ever done this? I'm running a square setup if that matters. I just like the drop of the rwd downs way more and don't wanna get AWD super downs.

As far as I know, the fronts won't fit since the shocks are physically different. If they would be the same, they would not make different parts number.

^^ I can't speak on the IS however, I did install Lexus Lowering springs on my 2019 RC and while they were clearly labelled for RWD, they worked fine on my AWD. Again, I am not saying they would work on the IS as this may be a whole different ball game but I just thought I would chime in

They will physically fit however your car would have a reverse rake as the AWD shock is longer.

I have installed the F sport springs on my 2019 AWD. The springs rate might be different from the stock. anyway, the installation is perfect. and so far so good.. the front didn't drop at all. at least not obviously. The rear is about half inch down.
