F-Sport AWD vs. RWD. Sit at the same height?
Do the F-Sport AWD and RWD sit at the same height? I seem to remember the 2nd gen AWD had more wheel clearance but I can't tell now from pics. I would prefer AWD due to weather where I live but hate large wheel clearance w/ fenders.

The pursuit of F
They both "sit" the same meaning their overall height and wheel well spacing are the same, but as far as ground clearance goes, the AWD is actually slightly lower at 5.1 vs 5.3"

My brother has an AWD IS 350 and I have a RWD IS 350. Lexus can say whatever they want but the AWD rides about an inch higher than the RWD. Compare the two in pics and you will see a much more pronounced gap in the front wheel well on the AWD. Also I have an AWD GS and it no doubts sits an inch higher than the RWD GS and has been talked about numerous times on the 4GS forum.
