it does look like your driverside tucks a little bit of tire where your passenger side doesn't. however, the stance is nice and it looks worlds better than before the drop.

Yep looks uneven. You gotta do the infamous 'finger gap' test hahahaha that's what I did and it looks about even. Looks really good though, what are the settings on? My skunk2s are bouncy but its normal lmao

Here is another biew of the passanger side. They said it due to it has not settled yet all the way. But i think that is bull sh** due to why is one side nice and tucked but the other is not. But in about a week when it does settle if its still like this i will have them fix it or do it my self all i would have to do is to lower the passanger side a bit more

Oh yea and it does not rub so far. They told me if they installed the RSB it would make alot of noise due to the coils would sit on top of the bolts

Leave the center caps out. And stiff and bouncy can be easily mistaken as the same.
Bouncy continues bouncing, like dead struts. Stiff coils feel bouncy, but its because the dampening is so stiff you feel everything.

T1R's and Skunks dont soak up the road like stock does. Youll feel everything.
Also, tire flex can make you think its bouncing. Any kind of bounce I get is from my tires.

Looks way better. As said above, passenger side isnt as low.
Paint your calipers and put a little negative camber up front. Itll look better.

As for no badge, I love not having my badge. Remove the RS emblem too. Its pointless.

Congratulations on the T1Rs!

Uneven ride height? Your coilovers have height adjustment anyway so you can fix it to your heart's content It's just a little strange seeing new springs and struts having more sag on one side though.

Cheers!

I'm going to go a little bit lower just waiting for it to settle and if its still not even well i will just adjust the coils. Now its turn to the right to tighten right which will lower the car?? Now i just have to paint the brake calipers black and remove the sticky stuff left by the fit emblem and Rs emblem. This goo be gone stuff sucks.

I really like the 1st pic of the driver's side. Looks great!

haha...I must've adjusted my passenger side Skunk2 c/os 3 times before I got it just right. Now I just measure the threads on both dampers when I change the height.
