I give up adjusting ... as long as they sit even, i'm happy.

sometimes they dont sit right... thats why I asked about the hard cornering. If you here a bang it's usually the coil over seating itself properly and therefore your car will be uneven or even in your case.
just a suggestion.

^^ thats what i was thinking. The one that looks more heavy duty and should have the same spacing of coil (at least for springs alone) should be your fronts. Rears look progressive. Fronts will always be more stiff than rears because of all the extra weight, so perhaps the rear is sitting high because you have a front in it, and the one front is compressing too much because you have a rear in it,.

you mix up the front and back springs, so in the front you have one front, one rear, and in the rear you have one rear and one front.
that's the only way I can explain it.

ohhh my god I can't believe I just read all that and didn't see the right answer ...
first assuming the springs are in the right spot (front and back on both sides)
the only answer I can give you is weight distribution. my car sits fairly level all round but it's not all set at the same place... why? weight. it's all about the weight some spots take more weight then other spots....

but would it effect the shock or the ride or anything if its not all set at the same place?? i just don't wanna blow/mess anything up..

change them yourself now... as long as you are somewhat decent at figuring some **** out on your own. All the bolts are already loose so it should be easy to do yourself. There is a DIY on this site but if you deside to do it yourself which is fairly easy, use anti seaze on the bolts.
PS, if your using stock struts keep the car fairly high or your gonna blow them quickly
