Someone please ease my mind

I just had my front end done. I got new KYB struts, a new center link and had DropZone springs put in for $500. The car is tight as ***** as I already put in new Hellwig (sp.) swaybars in the front and back and put KYB shocks in the back. She rides real tight (which is nice) but if I cut the wheel all the way it rubs. The overall drop was already about an inch (maybe more!). How much more do you think it will settle? Should I be concerned? Will this be a real problem? It looks awesome, though. I'm not going to post pics because it's going in for paint in a week. The one funny thing I noticed was that the passenger side seemd to be a full half inch lower than the driver's side. I think one was 26 inches to the bottom of the well and the other was 25 1/2. Is this o.k.? Let me know what you think.

Well I remeasured the car in the garage and the difference from side to side was less than 1/4 inch. It's around 25 3/4 inches. I talked to my cousin who's got a second gen and he mentioned a coil extender device that stretches the coil back up 1/5 to 3/4 inches. Where can I get something like this (just incase)?
