I wonder why they aren't. Maybe because the 3GS awd had vibration problems when lowered. The sewell parts store showed the 2011 GS F-sport springs for both rwd and awd.

I am assuming that RWD and AWD on 4GS are totally different especially the RWD has DRS feature not sure if that matters and RWD is lower on stock springs. plus i am not sure how much of a weight difference it is between AWD and RWD.

Default Lowered on F-Sport

At the LA Autoshow last week, this GS was lowered on F-Sport Springs. PTR07-30130R was the stamping on the blue springs. it's a mild drop for sure. rear wheel gap is about an inch. front wheel gap is about an inch also, but it's uneven left/right with the passenger side gap being bigger/higher than that of the driver side.

That's a perfect drop with the stock wheels. I expect those springs to sell like hot cakes. Not everyone into the slam look with aftermarket wheels.

Not sure how much aftermarket support there is suspension wise for the GS currently, but Fsport springs barely drop the car. I had to look at the before and after pictures a few times. just like the Fsport springs for the 2IS

the RWD is about 175 lbs. lighter than the AWD. i'm thinking they placed the springs on the side of the shock for a reason.

from my understand the weight difference between the two is not much and i think f sport springs can work on AWD but like you said it is come down the shocks.
