With new rear springs, drivers side is 1/2 inch lower than passenger side. How do I adjust them?

You may have to go to a spring shop and have them re-arch the springs on one side to make them level.
 
It is also possible the problem is with the front springs. They all interact to some degree even though not directly connected other then by the frame. A weak right front spring will make the left rear sit higher. I think the rear springs are identical so you could swap them from side to side and see if the 1/2" moves around. As Zcode said, I'd drive it a while and see if it settles in.
 
Somewhere there should be a punch list for properly measuring ride height on this vehicle. Things like all tires inflated to spec, on a level surface, full tank of gas, remove extraneous stuff from the car, and where to measure.
