Talk your car to a suspension geometry specialist and ask them to a) check the geometry and b) to release the suspension bushes.

Over time the car 'beds' into its suspension and release of the bushes, letting the car relax and retighting can lower the car by a few mm.

It may be just the ticket your looking for!

This is actually the sort of answer I was looking for.
