Default Is this normal??!!!! (Spring Question)

I just lowered my 99 TA today, picked up a set of Eibach's front and rear with the fronts alre4ady on the struts. It took all day but it was fun and I wanted to try it on my own. The back was easy after I figured out how to pry the spring out. The front was a pain in the *** due to the T50 star nut under the master cylinder.....

My question is now that it is all done I took some measurements from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well. The back is identical at 26 1/4. The front is 25 7/8 on on the passenger side and 26 1/8 on the driver side. Is that difference normal or should they be measuring the same?

The drivers side is usually a little higher to account for the height dropping when the driver is in the vehicle (I don't think aftermarket springs make any difference for this), so I believe it's perfectly normal.
