when you say lowest setting, you mean that you compressed the spring as much as possible. aslo after putting the car on the ground, you drove it around the corner right? once you put the car on the ground you need to move the car to get the springs to set correct.

the springs may need to settle. it takes a little while of street driving.

if it said not to you probably shouldn't. it may just be as low as it can go and there may be no simple way of changing it.
