Rear To Low?

Hello,
I posted a thread the other day about adjusting my car and figuring out the RAISE car button. Today I adjusted my front links and have the car sitting where I think it will be fine. I Went to adjust the rear and the link isnt adjustable but the rear is too low! What can cause this? The airmatic system works because it does raise and lower.


Here are pictures.

Are they original rods with no adjustment? Weird. I know the rear is the opposite of front as in longer makes it lower in front and shorten the link to make it lower in rear or vice versa. Can't remember. Just do the opposite of what you did on the front.

Yes, it is the factory rod. Sorry I forgot to mention that. There is 0 adjustment on it. It seems to sit too low for a factory car, my cousin has a stock wheel E55 and this sits lower by about an inch.

Check the bracket for the airmatic sensor in the rear to see if it has been bent.

This was my first time under the car back there, nothing looked out of place and nothing looked bent. Which way do people usually bend the bracket?

The bracket gets bent down to lower the rear, if I recall correctly.

I will look again today. Is there a way to bend it so it raises the car?
