problems after lowering the car by star diagnostic

I tried to lowering my car by star diagnostic as shown in the pics of star diagnostic thread.
left front:2,8 V
right front: 2,2 V
rear: 3,0 V
...so that the cars lowering at maximum. Now my right front is 0,5" higher than the left front. When I will compensate the height of the right one I go to 1,8V but this adjustments is outside from range of 2,2-3,2V, because of this the car will not accept this adjustment and go back to 2,2V.
What can I do?

Is your car right hand drive? If so, your weight should compensate the difference in height. Try this, raise the car, let it get all the way up, then get out of the car then press the lower button with no weight in the car. It should sit evenly. Hope that made sense.

No it is not a right hand drive.
Sorry but at the moment I didn´t have any other pics of my car. I will take more pics tomorrow.

I see a lot of pics from members which has lowering their cars by SD. All others cars were lower than my car.
What is the matter?

EDIT
@Allenjdmb
Here is my "old" E350 with the same wheels. 4x 9,5x19"
