Need help lowing my E55 with STAR.

I used to have 3 washers up front and 1 washer in the rear to make the car lower and look even. I finally got myself a STAR setup so I took the washers off, lowered the car the most I could without getting out of spec, and to my surprise it's just about as low as it was before ( which wasn't really all that low ).

Soooo, my question is the following. How do you guys get your cars so low with the SDS? Do you add washers to your already lowered car ( I thought of this ) or is there some trick I don't know about? It's about 1" lower than stock right now as it is....but I want the extra .5".

BTW- I set my inclination values to 4.1 front and -1.0 rear. I can't go any higher than 4.1 in the front or -.9 in the rear or else it'll give me errors.

Lower the car max with star and then add washers and you will be happy with the result.

I've been thinking about a washer in the rear. I've got 2 up front in addition to STAR and I can't see how you people could go lower. I already hit the bump stops.
