Swap the two front springs. below is how I came to this conclusion 
The alignment problem is due to uneven weight on the tires. I'm not sure what is allowable as far as spring sag or break in goes, but I would guess that half an inch difference per spring is too much.
If you can warranty your front springs that would be the best thing.
I think you've had them for a month if I remember correctly and that should be plenty of time.
Ah! one other thing. Do you like on ramps? If so you might just swap the two front springs and that might help to break them both in. I had to do this to my eibachs on my Camry due to on ramps.
Also make sure your caster is equal on both sides. They might have adjusted to help with the pulling issue. Less caster on the right..

I just sent a message to the member that I bought these from and he has the packing slips that bilstein sent with the coils. I'm going to give them a call about it on Monday to see if I get anywhere with them.
If not, I may try swapping the two fronts to see if that makes a difference. Is there a way to tell which side is the driver/passenger?
Everytime it settles, it settles anywhere between 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch and it really bugs me.

lilazngrl, i have the EXACT same problem as you. i'm actually confused myself, because I've had the car realigned a couple times before it started veering to the right again. I bought my coils used as well, but they were practically new. Though my passenger side sat about one finger higher, i just started to ignore it. Let me know if you find a solution to it
maybe our coils were meant to be. hahaha

Thanks Mac. I'll look into this. I'll probably have to solicit help from Vu again.

kristine,
minh told me your springs are red (looks like his) and your dampers possibly dont look like mine. my pss9's are blue. you think maybe they shipped you the PSS and not the PSS9?
