I don't think so. The spring rate is different. If you are looking to get Suspenion Tech spring check out alamomotorsports. S. Tech springs rock, I love them.

They will work but they have higher spring rates to compensate for the awd extra weight so those springs will drop your ride about 1.55in.I think progress springs use the same spring for FWD and AWD and the AWD drops 1.8 inches and the FWD drops like 1.5 or 1.4 in.

I got the Ebachi sport lowering spring set. I am very very happy with em. They improved my handling greatly, example: I had a corner i could take at 60 before the springs, now i can take it at 67. Big improvement for 200 bucks. I would deff advise going with new shocks when u do it though.
