Default IS350 leans to the left

So I've had H&R springs on my is350 for about a month now. I just realized that the car leans a little to the left. The right side (fr & rr) have about a 1/4 more gap than the left side. What can be causing this? I installed fronts first then a week later did rears. From what I remember after completing both fr & rr, the car seemed pretty level.

It was the same on my old IS300. some ppl said it's because of the constant weight from the dirver therefore the car leans to left a little, not sure if it's true.
