Instead of springs you should consider coilovers. I've had tein s tech springs before getting coils and the drop was uneven because AWD has the c-bracket in the front which is the reason why the front sits higher than the rear but the ride was very close to stock. If you are on a budget Megan EZ coilovers is a good way to go, if not then I recommend BC coils. Almost all springs will give an AWD IS an uneven drop. Also with the soft spring rates of Megan EZ coilover set up the ride will be as close to stock as far as coils go.

It all depends on how long you wanna sit down and turn Btw, even though the guy in the vid is doing BC coils, this applies to all coilovers.
