Mine is similar also, not noticable when driving. I had my wife drive while looking from outside. I know you can have star disnostic fine tune the height.

Did they use lower links? If they did you have to get them to re adjust it.

Is it the left front or left rear? Make sure they used links in the front and that it's done correctly. Other way folks do it is by drilling the strut - really bad idea...

Do you have the ABC or Airmatic? Airmatic has a tendency to be a little bit uneven on the rear since there is a single adjustment.

This is actually fairly common in the rear ,if you would have measured your heights before lowering, you probably would have had similar results. My car was 1/2 off with airmatic

If in the front, they didnt adjust the links or star settings to match. You can do the links yourself

s550

the left back and front is higher than the right front and back. i think he might have drilled the strut but not too sure... why is drilling the struts bad?
