w219 cls airmatic calibration quesstions

Hi, Sry for bad english.Car have stock R18 245/40 rims n tires. I calibrated the airmatic,because car have a realy high rear axle after some seriuosly workouts in rear suspension,and i drive car with uncalibrated suspension 1 year with ,,lifted" rear axle. Before calibration,the rear left side space between fender and tire is..i can put here fist and 2 fingers.Right side a bit lower...but all axle very high(like lifted). Righ front is a bit lower then left front. And after calibration(we dont have romess,and we use average angles,and we dont want to lower the car,we want to make stock heigh),we lift front right to the same,like left front. And lower all rear axle to +- the same like front. And now we have 27.56 inches in rear,and 27.36 in front. And now questions...before calibration i think car was more comfortable. After speed bumps it sways like a bout(now it sways,but not ,,deep" like before) an in turns,when i turn e.x 20-30 kmh to the corner,it lean to the left(or right,depending the turn side) so much,like a SUV. Now in turns it leans not much,like before,,now it more stable. Car comfortable,but dont hawe sways and leans like before,now it bit less like before.Or maybe now all is good,and before with lifted rear ir leans and sways so much but it didn't have to be like that,and now all normal? And second..inlination angles.I read so much,that all set its to the average(in my car,like a w211,it -1.1 on rear,and 3.5 on front) . Whats difference between e.x 27.56 inches on rear with -1.1 angle and -1.3 angle. Maybe this angles affect stiffnes...or whats affect this angles...? I call to some mersedes workshops,and they say,that they allways use average angles and set the vechile level manualy by lifting or lowering each side,and always all is good. And does anybody have stock measuremens in inches on comfort?I know all car have a bit different measurements,but its a bit.. This is my first mersedes,and it have arimatic. Before calibration,i thinked,that all airmatics a so soft and it very much sways and leans(it even seems to me that it is too much,because car have a so low car control) who have airmatic,can confirm to me..car must sway and lean a bit more,that cars without airmatic,ir it must be like i writed(sometimes before it feeled like that,that e.x after speed bump rear sways down,goes up,and then a bit down and stop...like a cars with broken shocks....). Thanks for answer,and i add photos before the calibration...its like a suv). https://im.ge/i/OxT9yChttps://im.ge/i/OxTwOphttps://im.ge/i/OxT6mPhttps://im.ge/i/OxTyhm And please.Anybody please measure measurements on comfort mode
