Default 250 AWD vs RWD ride height

how much lower does a stock 250 suspension sit vs the AWD?

I got the F sport springs which will basically make you look like a stock 250 cept maybe give or take 1/4" lower which is nice... unless you drift towards the even lower look which some times I do, and I regretted my spring choice. But in the end I feel its pretty good, a compromise between looking good and not having to worry too much about the road condition for a daily driver.

Height difference is listed in Lexus IS brochure at 0.6".

I saw my first IS250 AWD in person a few weeks ago (they are pretty rare here in AWD form) and I could easily see the difference in fender gap.
