Default AWD GS-F - RSR Coilovers?

As I can see there's plenty of people wanting to lower AWD 4GS F's (and non-F's) and I'm curious if anyone has used the RSR coilovers yet on an AWD? I saw a comment in this thread that they're only for RWD but I'm wondering what issues would occur? (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...s-for-4gs.html)

I'm very anxious to lower my AWD... couldn't go RWD due to living in Nebraska and this is my daily.

Any other options for a good AWD drop, I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Kyle

The RSR actually makes coilovers for AWD models as well, but no one has yet to lower their AWD using RSR coilovers here. Most AWD owners who lowered their cars went with springs instead. If you decide to go with coils, make sure to post as many pictures as you possible can

What are you waiting for?!?!

Where did you purchase them?

Has anyone reported issues similar to the IS250's with vibrations post-lowering at idle in Drive gear? My IS250 had some weird symptoms after lowering.

Anyone know how the awd coilovers differ from the RWD ones?

The design of the front strut is different, rears I think are the same

Thanks. Didn't really think about it, I should have been able to figure that out.

Check out my other thread - they are installed on the car.

SNiiP3R is correct. The rears are the same but the fronts are different. The AWD front has a OEM fork (more like a single claw) that you need to reuse for the front coilovers.
