I'm sure you can physically put them in to drop it lower but the thing in question all the time with AWD's is the vibration that comes along with it.

suggestions on what? what are your goals? (ie what are you looking for drop wise). just remember since you have an awd, the lower you go the more of a headache its going to be.

do you want lowering springs? do you want coils? how much of a drop are you looking for? something to just minimize the wheel gap or something that takes away all the wheel gap? are you ok with dealing with the vibrations?

Theres a lot of things that coming into play when lowering a car and more so when lowering an awd gs since there has been known problems with it. are you willing to sacrifice ride quality?

if you just want a small drop around an inch or so, i would say get fsport springs. several members use them on their awd and not many have vibrations. imo those would be the best bet to lower on but then again keep in mind, its only an inch drop so you have to see if thats low enough for you.

you can use whatever springs you want. theres no difference in the springs except for how much they lower the car. just becareful because the lower you go, the more vibrations/wobbles you'll get with the awd gs
