Default Need help an uneven ride

I have a set of Tein S-Tech springs. i installed them about four weeks ago and the ride height is still uneven. I checked on them yesterday all four springs are seated in just fine so I don't know what it is that makes the driver's side sit about 1/4 ince lower on both front & rear. is this normal??? do i need more time for them to settle in???

Many cars are simply not exactly level, even when new.. mine was way off.. 5/8 inch I think. I leveled mine when I added coilovers.

Interesting... I put my MY2000 with 75k miles on some corner weight scales at an autox event about a month ago and with Motons with the perches at exactly stock height, the cornerbalance was near perfect (with out me in the car). That would lead me to believe that our cars are pretty well built and balanced already and if you have any weird problems it's from the springs or you didn't measure your perch height properly.
