Default headlights move up and down after braking hard or hiting a dip

I just realized after instaling the H&R's that my headlights adjust up and down after braking hard or going into a dip. Is there a sensor I need to look at or something. TIA

Do you have adaptive/load leveling lights?

Default is your C6 a 3.2 or 4.2 -- the reason i ask is that i remember reading something about that same

issue with 3.2 models when installing springs -- if i recall correctly it had to do with how the parts were put back together? But this was only apparent on 3,2 models but dont quote me as i dont remember exactly -- but do a search this forum as you should find something as i do remember seeing this come up in the past.

i have a 4.2 and no unwarranted up/down motion on mine after coilovers (the lights do always adjust up/down when i first start the car, but that is the only time - and i have seen this since day 1)
