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.
I'll be interested to hear what you find - I've recently added TRD springs that have slightly less drop than your RS*Rs and am trying to decide if I should get a proper alignment.
