Did you measure the height immediatlt after lowering the jack...or did you move the car back and forth to let it settle...why? off the ground the track will be narrower than it will loaded..it will bee restricted from settleing by the tires inablilty to slide outwards to meet equi;librium....thats the nature of a independent rear suspension...or the front one too.....straight off the jack is not an accurate measurement.
