It was all done at the dealer before I bought it but I understand that it was just the springs. Long story but for the first 4 months I had it I thought it was on TRD springs because that what the dealer wrote on the spec sheet. Wasn't until I noticed they were black and pulled the box with the stock ones in it out of my TRD exhaust box that I discovered what they really were.
From the research I did it seems that the amount of front and rear drop the RS*Rs give is the maximum that you should go without having to add bolts or LCAs. That would explain the weird heights since I doubt they randomly picked 1.2 and 1.4 inches. (why not just 1 and 1.5?)
So far all the non scientific indicators for poor alignment have been good. I am pushing 30K miles after 9 moths of driving and my tire wear is perfectly even all around, I have zero pull and the car tracks as straight as an arrow and there are no visual or audible signs of miss alignment.
I haven't been to worried but wanted to confirm that bolts or LCAs are still not needed so will have it checked at my next service visit this week.
