Im wondering if im going to need a drop or if i could get away with keeping the stock height. Anyone have any pictures of this or have any idea?
I just dropped on F-Sport on 350awd and have to admit its a must do mod to get away from that 4X4 look but the improved handling was worth it alone. To be honest our AWD dropped on F-Sports appears close to stock look for the RWD 430s....

definitely do a drop of you are going 20's. 20's on stock ride height just looks wrong.

Nice...I'm thinking of trying them out now. How much was your drop? Your one of the few ppl with AWD that haven't experienced vibrations and wobbles after lowering their car! Let me know about the F-Sport sway bars when you install them lol.

You can use the F Sport springs, they will be fine. What are the offset/width of the rims you are using?
