FWD Coilovers on SH-AWD?
Need a quick help with this one TL folks;

I'm thinking of trading in my 09 TL for an RLX or a brand new TL. Question, can the FWD coils fit on AWD? Or how do they differ?

Thanks ahead.

I suppose spring rates are different to account for the heavier AWD system.

The FWD coilovers offered by Tein are the same part numbers as the AWD coilovers.

I posted a thread back in Nov. where I got the Prototype Megan Racing Coilovers for the FWD model. Now they need an AWD drive model, also currently test fitting the Megan Racing exhaust system.

09-13 TL coilovers are the same for the FWD/AWD, at least for TEIN and XLR8 ISC coilovers.
