03 4.4 with rear air suspension height

My rear was higher than spec per the spec sheet. I got my Romanian installer & cable got INPA working. It said it was 3mm higher than it should be per the sensors. I adjusted it and it seems to feel better. It's list of rim size heights was higher than the one posted here.

The car does feel better but that has to be placebo.

When you launch INPA, and got to calibrate height, on the bottom is a chart of what your height should be per trim and wheel size. Measure from bottom lip of the rim, to bottom of fender lip. Follow the chart. Formula is current height minus required height. Enter said value, hit ok, and boom, car is in spec.

I don't know where INPA tells you car is 3mm from spec based on value. Your are probably reading factory deviation, that was adjusted at time of build, from current sensor spec. That has nothing to do with what your real world height is supposed to be. Follow what I wrote above to set height.

This is the screen I am referring to.

It appears not to have changed anything.

Mine looks totally different. Totally. I don't see the e39 stuff at all, and I have the 20" wheel option as well as the required charts. That is so strange.
