    Just take it backand ask them to do it properly because they didn't do it properly the first time.

    This is why they recommend you measure the height before installing new springs... You measure from the centre of the Hub to the top of the guard before hand, write it all down. So any problems are noted before hand... (ie. sagging springs?) but if you install new springs and the same ride height differences is still there, it could possibly be chassis or suspension damage.
    Example. Front Left is 180, Front Right is 185, Rear Left is 180, Rear right is 160. After installing the new springs they might be 160, 165, 160 then 160. That would mean the old rear right spring was sagging... but if the new spring for the rear right gave a height of 140... then I'd be looking at suspension arms bent, chassis blah blah blah.

    So even if you do take it back and kick up a fuss over it, it could be your problem in the end... but hey if the new spring wasn't installed properly/faulty, all the more reason to kick up a fuss. How much lower then the others is it? Take a quick look behind that wheel and see if the suspension/strut looks ok?

    this may sound silly but why dont you jack it up take off the wheel and make sure the spring is sitting in the platform correctly, maybe a small twist of the spring could fix your problem

    i really dont think the company would have had a good look at your car the 2nd time round cause they already have your money
