Hey, it's been a while since I login to the forum. Has been busy with work & travels. I just took exact measurement of front & rear (in order for you to do comparison with my set up).

My front measures : 25.75" and my rear measures : 25.25" with 19" wheels. Mine is slightly lower than stock height but not by much and also has slight rear rake ~ 0.5".

Hope this helps you to figure out the issue.
Thank you and happy holidays!!!

Not sure if this is still helpful, but I was in a similar situation. My mechanic accidentally swapped the rear springs with the front ones, which messed up the preload settings. The ride quality was off, and it wasn’t the best. After I swapped the springs back and adjusted them to the recommended settings, everything went back to normal. I had the dampers set to 12 clicks, and honestly, my butt and lower back can tell you it’s way better than the stock comfort setting.

I’m attaching some photos of my car for reference.
