Self-levelling suspension.
Self-levelling suspension adjusts the height of your vehicle's rear axle for better driving dynamics and safety.

So DD and Self levelling are two different things. DD attack body roll while cornering by stiffening both front and rear axles, and Self-levelling act on rear axle only to maintain a level body when towing or carrying heavy loads at the back seat or trunk.
Thanks for clearing thing out

But why our rear sit so high?
Milton has his Koni fsd fitted and AK told me the rear height is just perfect!?
He is very happy with the FSD aswell

they are looking at different options to fit the brembo in AK shop to your car. I was at AK shop for 2 hours and they were just working on the brakes all the time (phone calls/measuring dimensions of my brakes/etc)

I tend to think this is due to the Eibach springs, I remember the ass of my car sat higher than the front since eibach is installed, might get a set of H&R and try try later on if I am not getting the F10 soon.
