sorry to say, but AWD is not a good platform for lowering. if you do a search here, you'll see that AWD owners who lower with either springs or coilovers are having vibration issues.
but if you are willing to live with some vibration, NF springs gives the best ride quality but DF gives a better stance but harsher ride. you got aggressive offsets there, so i'll let someone else who knows to advise you if you will rub or not.
do a search for my pics, i'm on NF springs. should give you an idea of how my GS sits.
btw, where in canada are you located?

I have a 07 AWD lowered on DF210 and I'm 20x8.5/20x10 +40. Tires are Conti DWS 225/35 and 265/30. My fronts are ok but my rears rub slightly on bumps. The DWS are kind of a wide tire. I have vibrations and wobbles but I can live with it for now. Hope this helps. Congrats on the car!

I had the same debate myself about a year ago. I started with the NF210 and I am now on the DF210. Not sure if this link will work, but here was a post of mine showing pics of both:

I wasn't happy with the drop of the NF's so I went with the DF's and I am so happy I did. The drop is so much better. And I did not notice any real difference in ride quality. Yes, I have vibrations. It's pretty much inevitable for us AWD owners. Since I choose to run over-spec tires, I was having rubbing issues in the back. I had my rear fenders shaved to get rid of that problem (so glad I did that too).
Now I am thinking about buying coilovers. If you have the funds to do so, that's what I would recommend. If not, or if your mind is set on springs, then go with the DF210. Just my two cents. Good luck and have fun with it!
