Front right lower than front left

I have a problem. I went in to get an alignment and was told that the front right of my car was sitting lower than the front left. They said it could possibly be a weak spring. It isn't very noticeable but should i expect any problems because of this. Has anyone else ever a had a problem like this?

the driver side should be a little lower then the other because the steering column, etc is on that side and it adds more weight, that plus you sit there so it puts more stress on it. My driver side sit's lower then my other about .5", but i'm a big dude so I weigh it down
