I think its normal because your weight combined with the gas tank will make the drivers side sag over time. Mine does.

is your gas tank full? that could make it seem a little lower on the drivers side.

see how it is after about a week or so. they could have messed up the install too.

its normal. My car does that too. Its a slight difference, but there's definetly a difference. It has nothing to do with wear on your suspension over time. Mine did it from the first week. It still does it today. The difference in height remain the same though. Unless you have a huge difference (maybe like 2 fingers) from driver's to passenger side then it seems normal to me.

gas tank is in the center of the car guys, only the fuel door is on the drivers side- only way you'd have more gas weight on the drivers side is if you over fill your tank by like 2 gallons after the pump stops.
