Lowering Problem

I had CCW 505a's, sportbrakes rotors, and my car lowered last Firday. My weekend project was to paint my calipers red. I jacked the rear of the car up from underneath on the left rear side, painted the caliper and when I lowered it back down, it was raised about 1/2 higher than it was before I jacked it up on both sides!! ?? The car was given longer bolts in the back to drop it to the perfect height, no it looks raised again. Anyone have any answers as to why this happened?

Thanks

Have you driven it?

The car always sits high coming off the jack. Once you drive it, even around the block, it'll settle back into place.
