Try bouncing the car from the shock tower. This can help to "settle" the spring.

do the springs have any writing on them?

if so write them on there and tell us the location (ie: front drivers, etc)

possible you have two different spring rates?

how much of a difference is it between sides?

That is also true you might have different spring rates...what does the company say about the spring rates for the exact ones you got....
