Yeah that is curious. I can understand the front left being a little higher to account for driver loading, but I'm not sure why the back is uneven in the opposite direction.
 
sit in the driver's seat and have someone take measurements and then have a passenger get in and take more measurements....in reality coil sag over time and just the fact that these really are not precision made items would account for slight differences. these kind of things have tolerances. put several 1000's miles on and measure again and see where you are at.
