Car seems to have forgotten it's suspension level settings.

You need to first try and do a suspension level adaption and go from there. Could be as simple as a bad level sensor/connection or maybe a bad suspension ECU.

Yes, begin with setting/adaptation. You can use instructions from my signature, not necessarily lowering it.

hymm... i did 25 mm without change coding I was helping myself with jack... On every wheel i did like this. First adapt my car so stay strait and stock on every wheel. Then did second adaptation and on every wheel i add 25mm, the wheel goes down and it was INVALID. I put jack near the wheel and jacking it until says VALID. Save it and goes to next wheel. Take a jack from wheel and it stay 25mm lower. And with next wheel same
Maybe with coding i will make more Need to try...
