Question 1" HEIGHT GAIN/CORNER BALANCING

I just installed turbo tie rod and bump steer kit. I also recently had corner balancing,lowering and alignment done. After many hours and hard work, my mechanic finally gave me the # of the weight, and the height #'s were:

FR - 25 1/8
FL - 25 1/8
RR - 25
RL - 25

The car looked awesome at 25". However,
on my way out of the shop, "Stupid of me", pretending that I have money, I finally decided to also have four shocks replaced. I was told by the mechanics that with the new shocks, the height/balance will not be affected. However, alignment will be affected and will be adjusted accordingly.

Well, the car rides great with 4 new Bilsteins. But, SURPRISES! SURPRISES! SURPRISES. Now the height is as follows:

FR - 25 3/4
FL - 25 8/9
RR - 25 8/9
LR - 25 8/9

The car is now higher than before I took it in for lowering, and before the bump steer kit!

I was told that it would settle down soon and that if it does not, I would just come back and they'll lower the car again. I have driven over 150 miles and no settling is being seen. GUYS! Please provide input.
