Default Concerns with my S-Line suspension...

the ride height of my '05.5 s-line looked a little off today so i measured the distance between the highest point on the wheel well and the edge of my rim. the height is 4.75 inches front driver side, 4.5 inches front passenger side, 3.5 inches rear driver side, and 4 inches rear passenger side. the .5 inch descrepancy between the back two wheels and the 1.5 inch descrepancy between the front and rear seems a little off to me. i may just be paranoid, but is this normal? car rides like it always has, just looks a little off.

Default Might be a shipping block in the left front shock - also, 05.5's didn't come in S-Line..

All of these cars come with bright yellow shipping blocks in each shock, it's worth checking even though unlikely. Did you buy your car new or used? A 1/4 inch difference isn't huge, and might be a variation of the parking surface.

Assuming you're in the US, the S-lines started with the '06 model year. I have an '05.5 and the S-line package wasn't an option for that year. You can have a sport suspension, but the car still comes with 17 inch wheels and tires..
