RS*R Down Lowering Springs vs Super Down

Question for whoever has the Down springs.
My rear is much lower than my front, rear = 1 finger gap // front = 2 finger gap, doesn't look right.
shouldn't it be 1 finger gap all around?
Also, passenger side is about 0.5" higher than driver side. Springs still haven't settled in, but once settled in, will it even out? because the rear on my drivers side looks like its sagging/tucking, can't see top of tire. While the passenger rear, the top of tire is still visible.

Maybe it's to ensure that there will be no rubbing during full lock over bumps?
Stock: 1 Finger rear, 3 finger front (On 19's)
RS*R Down: Flush rear, 1.5 finger front
Just freshly lowered on RS*R Down Springs...

What a great resource. This should be pinned!
Now I need to find a distributor that carries the half down springs... Any one have any ideas?

The drop is correct as the car comes with reverse rake from factory. Why RS*R chose to accentuate this, I do not know. But from the specs, you can see that they didn't do much to reduce the factory reverse rake.

Ride quality was about the same honestly except in Sport+, felt bumpier but that's to be expected. I just got my alignment and spacers put on today, 17mm in front and 18mm in rear and now am getting minor rubbing issues in the fronts when I go over bumps. They're stacking spacers so I might go to a 15mm in front. Will post some pics later.
