Default Settling issues with the Tein Basic coilover

I recently installed Tein Basic coilovers on my car. They're great and I love them! However, I'm having a bit of a problem with the front drivers side settling too much. I'm not a heavy person by any means, so I don't see my weight being a factor in them settling so far. I've had them on for about 5 days and 3 of those days were spent on an 800 mile road trip down to SoCal. I actually noticed the front of car listing to the right (looking at it from the front) before my trip and I had the coilovers re-adjusted. My thoughts are that my trip to SoCal and back really settled the coilovers, so all I may end up doing is just getting them re-adjusted.

It might be worth mentioning that the tech who adjusted the coils after I noticed the settling, spoke of "corner balancing" where the corners are adjusted at different heights, but they appear level. It could be that my car is corner balanced and not really settling at different heights. Any thoughts or opinions on this?

1. I was just curious though if anyone else experienced a really fast (and maybe severe) settling issue with their Tein coilovers.

2. Even though my coilovers were re-adjusted for settling, could the road trip have impacted it further to the point were I need one more adjustment to even things out?

3. In general, do coilovers need periodic adjusting (once or so a year) to maintain the desired height?
