It's normal.

The suspension is engineered so that when the driver steps in, the car is leveled. But post the pics so we can see how big the gap is.

Honestly, never noticed. I'll photo both sides of my ride and see if there is a difference.

H&R sport springs will lower the rear dramatically. All around the drop will be ~the same, but to answer your question, the gap will not be there (at least not as big) if you went with H&R sport springs. It will lower it by ~0.7" from the OEM sport suspension.
