The drivers side will sit higher than the passenger side. It takes a few days to settle but you may notice it may settle for a couple weeks.

Usually the drivers side will be higher because Nissan knows that once a driver gets into the car the drivers side drops down to match the height of the passenger side. That's just my guess.

Pretty sure that's completely wrong. The spring rates are the same per pair, front and back. As is the design of the coil on both sides.

I don't think the shocks or springs have anything to do with it has to do with how the suspension is designed. That's what I noticed when I took measurements before I installed Coilovers.

If the car was designed to sit higher on one side than the other without anyone in it, that means the two front springs would have a different spring rate and coil compression.

Regardless, our stock springs make the car sit perfectly even from the factory all around. Likewise, my Swifts seem to have settled and are even all around since I broke them in correctly.
