Lowered my car via Star Diagnostics: help w/ uneven ride heights
Hey guys,
I had my dealer lower my E55 via Star Diagnostics and now the ride heights are off from the left side to the right side.
Both the front and rear of my car on the right side are at least 0.5" higher than the left side. I plan to take it back on Monday to have them readjust the ride height on the right side, since the left side is perfect for my taste.
Is it easy for the tech to simply lower both right corners a half inch or will this affect the left side?
Also, I thought I read somewhere that the rears cannot be adjusted independently. Is this true? If so, how can I make both rear corners even?
Thanks for your help guys.

Let the electronics settle for a day or two and see if it evens up. Raise the car, lower it, drive it, see what happens. Remember to park on a flat and level surface and measure with the car idling, door closed - to reproduce real life.
Most cars are not level when measured carefully. To get it level, I understand, takes a fair bit of fiddling/time.

I suggest deflate the rear completely on a perfectly level surface and inflate the rear in unison via STAR in the airmatic section.
