Short answer is no.

If the height sensor is accurate and working properly in the front then dealer level software is the only way to adjust the height.

Cannot remember whether you have one or two at the front.

Depends what year. The cars started off with two front sensors, then at some point changed to just have one. There are always two at the rear.

my front suspension strut started losing hight so got two legs from eurojag and one started goin down so changed one of mine back (that was alright) and I thought it was the compressor. I bought a compressor an changed it over and now the front of the car seems to high. Any ideas

Check the front height sensor(s) for damage and feel when moved up and down.

The front RHS sensor was deleted at VIN G26872 and onwards.
