- The control arms should be torqued only after being loaded. This was a problem initially for me after the install, the bushings will "wind up" with load if the torquing is not done with the car fully off the jacks.

- The end of the spring coil wasn't lined up with the spring pad "book-end", so I suspect this was also contributing to the height difference. The shop adjusted/rotated the coil to line it up flush with the "book-end" of the pad at the same time as re-torquing the control arms
You are correct, 1" is too much. 10mm is the maximum allowable L/R in TIS.
