Default LS460L AWD lowering question?

Does anyone know if the RWD and AWD suspension is the same. Planning on buying a 2011 LS460L AWD and wondering if I can buy coilovers to lower it.

i don't think so. it's mainly the front i believe

it was one of the few requirements my shop told me when i was looking for a LS if i wanted coilovers or not. since not many coilovers are for the awd.

Checking forums for options, this seemed unanswered. These are for AWD, I have a 2011. I am debating going with either 20 or 21" staggered keeping overall diameter under 1%. These Coilover options would seem adjustable to *Drop* the vehicle on all corners half to 3/4 of an inch to close the gap above the tire yes?

Should work yes?

They definitely look like AWD struts to me. The price is pretty good too.

no. they r different, a lof of things or most of thing related to the suspension is different, only a few arm is the same
and u have very limited choice when it comes to coil over, many brand just dont make it
unless u live in a snow area like me , awd is a horrible choice for this car as the repair cost is 3-5 times more compare to rwd model

Coiloverdepot.com has JVR coilover for the LS460 AWD, I recently installed a set on my 2011 LS AWD. Rides quality is very good. I only lowered my car one inch.
