lowering question

I had my Tein H-Tech spings for the 350Z installed professionally last Friday. I've measured all wheel gaps and it seems that the passenger's side of my car is 1/4"(rear) higher and 3/8"(front) higher, compared to the driver's side. It's very noticeable to me and others. Does anyone know if this is normal? I know it is not that hard to install the springs and you cannot mess up the install. So I do not know what would be causing this.

the end of the spring might not be lined up with the notch in the top of the strut assembly

Normal. When I had H-Techs, the driver side of the car was lower than the other. Protocav has done a ton of spring installs for Z's and G's and he'll tell you the same thing.
