someone correct me if i'm wrong, but…

#1 If you are lowered only 1" you won't affect roll center to the point that you will need roll center adjusters
#2 the red j's racing s1 offset ball joint includes RCA plate built in (blue original versions do not have roll center adjustment)
#3 what caster did you get, FWIW caster and camber are a trade off. On my CR with stock suspension I can get -2.8 or 7 degrees of caster but not both
#4 have you had your subframe re-centered?

1. maybe I am wrong about the ride height. The only sure thing I can tell you is that the lower arms now are straight. Maybe I am more than 1'' lower

2.i thought that the red ones was a new version of the blue ones!!!!

3. I get the same numbers with you on OEM suspensions. I agree with you, ''but not both''. But js racing says that you get +3degree camber from the OEM settings.

4. Please in light me!!

this is what I am afraid!! I think they must rotate 180degrees. Does someone has a pic with the rca's on his car??

It's hard to tell from your pictures but it should be installed like this:

Right now I am hoping that you are wrong and a rotate of 180degree will put me out of my misery. Otherwise I can not understand what is the problem.

As for the uneven sides (fatter one side from the other) if I am not mistaken those new js rca's are the same on both sides, that make things more complicated.

Looking at the 7th picture, it sure looks like they are installed correctly.
