Even spring drop for AWD?
Even spring drop for AWD?
Its around that time for me to replace my stock shocks as I'm currently at 82k miles. I was able to find a fairly new set (barely used) of f-sport shocks. Before anyone suggest that I just get coilovers I just want to mention that I'm over the whole riding low scene and I just want something that last long and of good quality. The reason I'm opting on getting the fsport shocks is because they are cheaper than the regular ones and I wouldn't mind changing out the springs for a stiffer and slightly lower look.
That being said, I have had both springs and coils before. My question is are there any new springs or newer ones that came out (I've been out of the scene for awhile now) that offers an even drop for the AWD. I know that previously springs for the AWD model lowers the rear more than the front due to the set up of the AWD drivetrain. I've tried using the search option but couldn't find much information or pictures, maybe I'm not typing in the right key words. If anyone has any good information that like to share I'd greatly appreciate it.

you can't ride "low" on an AWD....unless you wanna go through set of cv axles per week/month
f-sports are nice i'm using them but i find they're slightly soft (for comfort) for my likings, with my road magets (11k front, 9k rear)
if you want a more even drop on the AWD, probably the STechs are your best bet, advertised to be 1.7" front, 1.0" rear
the springs are not lowering the rear more..it's the way the car (and many cars) are designed (reverse rake)...all if not most springs have more drop in the front (for the 2IS), but the rear only look lower because it already is from factory

Im not trying to ride "low".
And yes i know the springs are not lowering the rear more and i will state my question again.
Is there any springs that will give an even drop right than having the front look more even to the rear.
