Teg's are heavier than ek's.
But honestly, I can't imagine there is that much of a difference.

Yeah because they are made to handle more sprung weight that ek springs.

having one side lower than the other is normal when going with aftermarket struts. I wouldn't worry about it. You can visually check your coil if its snapped or if the dampener is leaking and do a rebound test (bounce the side of the car to test the absorbers) If they pass, leave them alone

Also the car is ANNOYingly tilted to the driver side not just slight!
If i change the shocks it would fix the problem(with the stock springs)

Stock parts won't be that stiff, I am sure you drove/rode in a GSR before, waves like a boat, can't be that hard.
For you, I would just pick up a set of used EK OEM coilovers and be done with it. Saves you time and trouble to swap out the springs.

I knew people were gonna ask this.
Coil = spring. Honda uses spring over strut type of suspension, so it is coilover.
The "coilover" that you guys know of, should really be called "adjustable coilover with either dempening, height, or both".
