Weird rebound - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Maybe its all in my head but I feel like the right struts are looser than the left. The left snaps quickly back to its rebound and the right feels just slightly softer. During hard cornering the car squats more on a left turn.

Do struts have break in?
How likely is it that they broke in unevenly?
Would I even be able to notice hard cornering?

It's certainly possible that your dampers did not wear identically at all 4 corners. And if I were to take a wild guess, I'd say most daily driver's wear the right side a little quicker.

I feel the same effect in most sports cars when I weave side to side consistently enough to feel it. The driver's weight being on one side will make at least some small difference, maybe noticeable, maybe not, for all but the very daintiest drivers.
