Default HELP Data Systems air Suspension Controller Problem

Has anyone had any experience with different height levels of there vehicle? I bought my car and installed the system roughly 2 months ago all was good. However Here is my issue . Yesterday i walked out to my car and the passenger side looked lower than normal, I looked at the drivers side and it looked ok . The level it was set as was front 4 rear 3 , I took out a tape measure and measured in my garage from the floor to the top of the opening in the wheel well. There is a difference of roughly 3/8 of a inch. When i set the controler to the normal level there is still a difference but only slightly more than a 1/8 of a inch. In order to have all four wheels at the same level The dfrivers front is at 4 passenger front 2 rear at 3 . however the passenger rear is still about a 1/4 lower. Do i need to reset controller? Uninstall and reinstall? Or just live with it?
Thanks

Make sure the floor is level. You can never get it to be even...mine is always off by a few mm. I'be learned to live with it. I read somewhere even cars at the dealer have the same condition.

definitely first make sure the car is on a level ground.

for lexus cars, left and right is never the same height (ask lexus why), same thing on my ls460l, the right side was always lower by more than 1/2 inch.

Does the difference have anything to do with compensating for driver weight if left side is typically higher than right? Can you get someone to re-measure with you sitting in the car?

Dana, you can balance it out. I have mine set at 6 front right and 5 front left...6 at rear. This balance out pretty well for me.
