Is it all assembled as it should be i.e. no pipes in the wrong holes etc?
Is your plastic eggcup link in the right place?
Are you corrector linkages all free?

There are two pipes on the height corrector that you can accidentally swap over easilly, if you get these two wrong the corrector will work in reverse, i.e. it will try to set the car to full or minimum height rather than keeping any height.
Assuming that you've not got your pipes crossed, check that the bracket on the rear anti roll bar is not out of place, it may need adjusting to adjust the ride height.
