Driver side lower then passenger side after spring swap

So I switched to aspec springs with koni shocks on the lower perc yesterday and the drivers side is higher then the passenger side.

I have a 2 finger gap on the drivers side and about 2.5-3 finger gap on the passenger side.

Is this normal? Should I take it back to the shop right away Or Should I let it settle for about a week...?

you sure they are all set on the lowest perch?
is the car on a flat/level surface when you do the finger test?

when you say drivers side, do you mean the entire side (front and rear) are different than the passenger side (front and rear)?

does the car look like it has a ganster lean to one side when staring at it from head on or behind?

Hm, interesting. I would let it settle for a few days BUT call the shop today and tell them what's going on so they have it on record. If you wait too long to contact them, they may blame you for doing something to cause the unevenness.
