I just briefly read the pictures of the service manual that was posted. I do not know of any confirmation.

Did you feel any vibrations? I heard that there are no specific springs made for AWD yet...
Has the vibration gone away? I started to get a vibration at take off after I ran the car at Pocono Raceway. The vibration is very small but noticeable and I just think it shouldn't be there at all.

AWD vehicles require consistant tire diameters all the way around.

Even though I had to put on my stocks, I'm still glad I lowered it. Even with the Stock wheels the car looks really clean.
