Default OEM suspension SAG

Anyone have issues with their suspension sagging?
I have a 2008 LS 460 with about 16k freeway miles mostly. I was looking into Coilovers and measuring my height from groud up to the wheel well. I notice that my driver side is full 1/2 inch lower than the passenger side. I made sure all my tire pressures were equal on all four conrners.

my measurements were

LF 28 7/8 inches
RF 29 3/8 inches
RR 28 6/8 inches
LR 28 3/8 inches


Anyone have same issue or know what the problem is? Dealer thinks it is not a big deal, but for 76K vehicle I don't think suspension should have deviation such as this!

Looking for input,

Thanks in Advance

normal, since years ago (can't say 100% about other manufacturers), but on lexus, driver side and passenger side always not the same. that's why lowering the car with spring can sometimes be painful since you end up one side perfect but the other side higher / lower

thanks, I guess it is time for some coil overs; JIC or Megan...do you know anything about quality? Is JIC really worth spending extra 1200 on?

Do you know about any significant diff between the two, pros and cons...
