STAR Lower

I have a 2005 e55 which is currently lowered via STAR. When this procedure was being done at a indy shop the e55 was parked at a bit of an uneven incline surface.

Now when my e55 is on the Sport 2 setting (the lowest) the rear sits lower than the front. Is this due to the fact is was parked on an incline? The tech followed the Sticky lowering instruction on this forum and entered those exacts numbers.

If we were to do the same while the e55 is parked on a decline surface, would the front sit lower than rear?

From what I've noticed from my E55 and my brother's CLS55, whatever height we set the car at with star, the front ends up sitting ~0.5" lower and the rear sits ~.75" lower than the programmed height after the engine is restarted.
