why does this happen to me?
the coilover was setup yesterday. This morning before I am driving to school, I found that the right side of the rear is slightly higher than the left ( I just mearsured by my finger). by just looking from the back of the car it looks no significant different (one side is lower than another). But the funny thing is when I got school, I double check this and found that the left side is slightly higher than ther right............(about the same size higher in previous)
Is this normal?? I know all of you guys here are professional about this. please help me out with this..

first of all, read your post and see if it makes any sense to you . . .
next from what I got from your wonderfully worded original post, is that before you went to school it looked like the RR was higher than the left, then when you got to school your LR was higher than the right. and that you measured it with your fingers, . . . yeah.
therefore gravity, and the car sitting un level bits of ground, is that so hard to understand?
and if this is actually what is happening, there is no reason at all that you should have coilovers on your car if you didn't already realize this.

I am appologized for the trouble of reading on my post.
it's been balanced when I am leaving school this afternoon. I would like to know do I really need to do an alignment after installed the coilover?
1. put your car on a level surface (garage).
2. chech your tire pressures.
3. measure the distance from the center of your hub to the top of the fender/quarter panel
4. once your ride height is set, get it aligned

most likely its because your car is resting on an un even surface.
anoter possibility is that since this is a new setup, the springs wtill have to settle.
measure the height on level ground < make the needed adjustments < get an alignment
