Default Springs from RWD F-Sport on AWD F-Sport?

I have a 2015 GS350 AWD, and I love the car, but I would like the slightly lower ride height (15mm lower) of the RWD model. Does anyone know if you can put the stock RWD springs on the AWD model? Any issues you would run into if you try this? Thanks in advance for any input!

Why not just get aftermarket springs?

We have the RSR downs.

I’m considering that option as well. I feel that the RSR Downs may be too low and stiff for me. What about the Swift springs? They seem to be more what I’m looking for. Have you put those on an AWD?

RSR shouldn't be too low and not on an AWD. But RSR RWD and AWD part # is the same. So swift might work but can't guarantee it.

Any way to not have the reverse/negative rake that is common amongst GS350’s when lowering?

Coilovers or you can use lower height springs in the front to balance the rear out.
