Swift awd sedan Springs On a rwd sedan

Hey guys, I was wondering is there really a figment issue if I was to place swift awd springs on to my newly acquired rwd g. I had a awd g but sold it for a rwd one and had plans to lower the awd g so I purchased swift springs for it. Now I have rwd model I'm hoping they fit so I don't have to go through the process of selling them and purchasing springs for the rwd model. Also if they will fit with a few modification if you all think what would be the process? Or will I just be better off selling them. From what it looks like in pictures there's not to much of a difference between the rwd springs and awd springs from swift besides the inch of the drop. Any constructive help would be appreciate guys/gals

They will fit just your drop won't be the same since the weight difference. Also the ride might vary slightly from other people with the proper springs.

Thanks for the info that makes me feel a lot more confident in just keeping them. When you say the drop won't be the same. Do you mean it as the car won't drop at all or the drop with be very minimum? Also do you think it will basically be plug and play with no extra hardware or mods needed? Thanks again especially for not flaming me for basically being lazy and cheap lol

Your best bet is not to ask here, but to ask someone at Swift so that you can get a definitive answer from someone who actually engineered the parts.

Maybe you can get w/ a G owner in Atlanta that needs those AWD springs and you could do a local swap. Would be best to have the specific springs for your car.
FWIW Tanabe makes the same spring # for all their G springs from Coupe to Sedan to AWD & RWD, and the drops are very different from vehicle to vehicle as are the different handling characteristics. So yeah, they will fit, but Tanabe took the lazy approach and Swift did the legwork to get the optimum spring length & rate for each specific application.
I know what I'd do

DONT DO IT. I have a RWD sedan and I ordered the AWD springs by mistake. The drop is horrible and if you have a lip, its a nightmare. You'll rub it everywhere
