This allows the car to settle lower than it should, so that even if the suspension lever is in the lowest position, the hight corrector closes before fully depressurizing the front suspension. Try putting a block of wood (4x4 or better) underneath the front crossmember when you drop the suspension. This (coupled with following Denis's instructions for depressurizing the hydraulic system) will ensure the front suspension completely depressurizes.
