Default Proper spring preload adjustment

At the track yesterday, someone suggested that I DO NOT pay attention to making the chassis level on my car. He told me I should make sure that both springs are identical with respect to the adjusters. His argument was the spring will be compressed more on one side if you try to level it out, and you will have a greater spring constant because you compressed the spring, causing the car to be out of balance. I disagree, because it's relative to the side of the chassis. One side is heavier, so one side needs more preload to balance correctly. I wouldn't say that out loud to avoid seeming argumentative. What do you guys think?
