Default AWD front struts

Hello everyone, i've been searching for the part number for the fron struts on the 2014 AWD IS 250, I also read here somewhere the RWD will work with a little drop.
Can anyoe confirm that?
I'd truly appreciate it.

David

I believe the front struts are different between AWD and RWD since there are drive shafts connecting to wheels in AWD. I replace the front springs before, the bottom of the strut is not strait like the RWD.

It has been kind of difficult to find the right parts, I bought these from partsgeek.com, they said these will fit, comments?

Ironically so did I.
It was more of an issue of their staff bring morons, but I'm trying not to hold that against the parts. The parts are good...especially when they package the correct parts that you order lol!!
