I had Tein H-tech springs installed yesterday, and now my ride sits noticeably unlevel. The left front and rear are almost 1/2" lower than the right side. I know it takes a little time for the springs to settle but this seems abnormal. I would expect the springs to settle all around at a similar uniform rate. Anyone else experience this?

Only when the springs aren't installed correctly. Sounds like they weren't properly rotated in the perches.

also dont forget that depedning on wats in your car that might also cause it to be slightly unlevel. for example if you have a heavy subwoofer enclusre in your trunk then the back of your car will likely be a bit lower then the front. that was the cae in my old car, even though i never put a lot of stuff in my trunk.

I'm sure the springs are authentic. I bought them from an authorized dealer, and the shipping label on the box is from Tein in Downey, CA.
After looking at it more, I think it's just the right front that sits noticeably higher. The others look ok/closer but are not equal because the right front is throwing off the whole balance. I'm taking it back to have it looked at.

Look / measure the car when it is parked in several different locations. It doesn't take much of a variation in the surface to make it look uneven. If it is still consistantly uneven, it may be that the springs aren't properly seated in the lower perch (bad), or the upper perchs were just randomely installed (old spring impressions not matching the new springs equally). I'm pretty sure that the upper perches would fix themselves over time as the rubber takes new shape.
