Default Audi S8 ride height uneven

2007 S8 and the driver rear sits about 2cm lower than the right rear. 38.5 vs 38.5.

The front driver sits at about 39.5 and right front about 38.5.

not sure when it changed but looking at pictures I think it’s been like this for at least 3 months but not always. I just hadn’t noticed.

what’s standard height and is it worth messing with recalibrating or adjusting each corner?

2cm is a lot. Are you talking about after the car is started and the suspension has leveled? Or in the parked resting state?

I would do a re-calibration for starters if there isn't any other indication of a problem with codes or broken leveling sensor arms. The car could have been lifted when not in jack mode, for example, causing some weirdness.
