Lowering Links - Can't Level the Car

Hi,

I've got some adjustable lowering links to lower my CL. On the first attempt the whole left hand side (facing the car) was leaning a bit. I removed the links, one by one, re-measured and adjusted them to equal length (left and right, front and rear, following the instructions) and fitted back. Now the car's front is OK but rear is up high in the air. I tried lowering/raising it with the button, the rear goes up and down a little bit but is still high compared to the front or even to the ground.

How do I level the car now?

Thanks.

Turned out the rear sensor arms were pointing in the wrong direction. They should be pointing towards the centre of the car. Hope it helps someone out there with the same problem.
