It's normal.

From the factory, our cars had a bigger gap in the front. In fact, the gaps on my '03 Type-S were exactly like your description; 5 in the front and 3 in the rear, before the system.

Is that over-compensation in the front suspension for the weight of the engine, or is that just the characteristic of the TL?

To an extent, yeah.

But on a lot of production cars, you will notice the same pattern.

the back always sits lower on our cars, unless you have coilovers where you can adjust it
