Yes you can lower AWDs
Well I finally returned home and can post a few pics of my AWD.The drop was done with Tanabe NF210s.I didn't want to ruin the ride or have bottoming issues so I orderd the NFs.I am glad I didn't get the DFs,the car dropped 2 3/16 inches in the front and 1 1/4 in the rear(perfect).I also made a change to the nose of the car.I hope this meets all of your approvals.

That is a hell of a drop for the NF's, even more than my DF's. I thought the NF's only droped 1.3 inches? Is this because of the AWD that there is such a drop diference? The NF's dropped my car 2 inches and you seem to have gotten more out of yours.
Your car is now looking like it is at stock 300 or 430 height levels. GJ.

I only have about twenty miles on the setup with no issues and the ride is quite nice.
I did a before and after measure.
FR 28 11/16 after 26 5/16
FL 28 9/16 after 26 3/8
RR 27 11/16 after 26 5/16
RL 27 9/16 after 26 1/16
Oh ya ! my stock wheels are 3/16 of an inch taller than the Ziniks and Pirellis.I did the before with the stock but that is still 2 inches in the front and over an inch in the rear.
A before shot look at the gap.

Damn, that drop looks awesome! Those pics make me want to pull the trigger on the NF210's for my AWD now...
Did you bring it to the dealer to get them installed?

What do you guys think of the grill? It's a bad pic, I made it from stainless mesh and fit the upper inplace of the original.The lower is an overlay.
