I researched on Teins Wagon Damper coilover, it turned out that it is for FWD only. The link looks like a sping, but I would call Teins to confirm.

i have them for FWD and love them but it sucks it doesnt make it for AWD cause i just pick up another rx300 AWD ... but the only thing it sucks about it .. it take along time to get almost 3 to 4 months but if you know the right people it will take a month to get ... the link you gave us its only for the springs ... not a good idea just to get the spring. you should get the damper kit .. its alot better thats what i have .

I would go for coilover or stay stock for 4 reasons: spring and shock designed by the same company, get much more height lowered, ride quality, and performance. I have seen pictures of RX300 w/ Eibach and honestly I can't even tell it is lowered. Just my $0.02.
