Default Anyone with AWD and F Sport shocks?

Looking for some before and after impressions.

I am considering the F Sport dampers instead of the OE replacements. May consider the springs as well, (already decided to get the sways).

Thanks!

The simple facts on the matter are as follows:
-The factory part # for both IS AWD and GS AWD shocks are the same.
-The GS300 AWD and the IS250 AWD are about 100 lbs in curb weight apart
IS = 3651 GS = 3759

Why would the F Sport shocks not be offered for the GS300 AWD?

I could understand the IS's AWD F Sport shocks not working for the GS350 AWD weighing in at 3969, some 318 lbs heavier. Maybe they didn't want to make another set for the GS350 AWD crowd and just as well not offer anything for the AWD bunch altogether.
