Sounds like a personal problem. My car also leaned to the left though it was more pronounced when I lowered it. On even lowering the left(driver's side) was 1 1/4" lower than the right(passenger side). I also an just about ready for shocks but I think this is common to some degree.

I heard this was designed into the car, that it was supposed to be that way, and that it becomes more pronounced when you lower the car.

Will engine torque lift the left side a bit when launching the car? If so, then it would be level under hard acceleration!

Check the Archives.

I'd take a serious look at a set of HAL shocks. They go for about $575 delivered from Summit.

This has been a topic for about a year now. There are several previous threads on the subject if you want to research it. The consensus of opinion is that it is normal for the car.
