Another issue found after fj springs and 5100's installed... Comments?

So I had a local shop install the FJ coils and 5100's. The abs cable on front driver side was pulled too far and cut inside, however they are making good for it. Cost was about $60 for new cable. Now I was just measuring the height increase at the .85 setting and found out the passenger side has more clearance? I counted the coils and it appears they have reversed the driver/passenger springs. Ugh! Is this a big issue? I think they should make right for it and correct. Can they just take the coil over shock and swap entire setup with one another? Does not seem like I would need another alignment either, right? I really can't believe I am having all these issues... Feel so bad to bring something else up to him that is wrong... They are going to hate to see me next week. :-(

Thoughts?

Yeah I would have them fix it. The reason they sell it that way is to compensate for the driver's weight. I mean unless you weight less than 80 lbs and have a really heavy passenger.....
 
you should be able to look at the paint markings on the springs to determine which goes on which side. I can't remember off the top of my head but its on here in the big Fj coil thread.
