Lowering springs AWD models

This may be a premature question since the comp g80/82 has not come out yet, but do you think that the same lowering springs for three model will work for you awd m3?

I think there is a good chance that they may be the same springs that are on the RWD car. I was watching the Savage Geese review, the other day, and when they had the car on the lift, it looked like the front is using hollow front hubs that accept axles. So, the whole drivetrain seems modular. Like all you needed to do was source the xDrive parts to make the RWD car xDrive. The xDrive model is supposed to be about 100 pounds heavier, so, that may affect the spring rates, though.

Yeah, I kind of figured that. Hence I mentioned it in my last sentence.
