Default RSR half-downs on AWD?

Hey guys, I'm a new owner of a 2016 Lexus IS300 AWD Non-F sport, and I live in canada where we have pretty harsh winters. The car could use a drop so I concluded that RSR half-down springs are the best drop for me, however I'm seeing they're only sold for RWD models. Has anyone installed half downs on their AWD 3is? Or have any information on if this is possible? I would appreciate some feedback, thanks.

The back would be fine but if you put RWD springs on the front of an AWD it will actually lower the AWD 1/2 an inch LESS because the front struts are different so you'd have hella rake.
I'm currently running stock rear springs but installed front RWD half downs so my tire to fender gap is the same front and rear.
Hope this helps.
