After reading so many posts on lowering an AWD im still not really sure on what the outcome is on eyebrow height after installing Kings lows in an AWD so does it drop 10 to 12 mm more than a FWD or not, if i use Kings lows will it drop 30 or 40/42 mm, id hate to order the wrong spings and either be too low or the reverse, on a budget so im not taking the coilover route

King Low SPs = 30mm drop on FWD base models
King Lows = 45mm drop on FWD base models

Since the AWD is heavier, you could expect the drop to be a little more than this - but by exactly how much, I'm not sure.

You should also consider Dobinson springs. I believe they are firmer which greatly benefits the extra weight of the AWD.

Relative to your current eyebrow heights the nominal drop won't change much due to the weight of the vehicle except as a result of product variation.

If you were to install King Low SPs or Lovell's Sports Lows (both nominally around 30mm drop), I would expect that you would get eyebrow heights approximately 30mm lower than your current eyebrow heights.
