You could answer your own question by looking up RWD and XDrive control arm part numbers in realoem to see if they are the same or different. The fact that VAC sells different part numbers for RWD and XDrive models is also a big clue. The answer is NO

After a few weeks with these, I can say I'm very pleased with the change. There's a little less feedback improvement than I expected, but it feels like it scales with speed (or at least, the quality of the roads around here gives me that impression), and the steering precision is dramatically better. No concrete plans to switch the lower control arms yet, but it's on the list.
