Up front, well, you have cranked the torsion bars, but hard to tell. One test you kan do is to but it in Low, then let the rest of the pressure out of the front bleeders to see how low it goes. From what I've seen, the front should go down to the bump stops, but only just. So you could crank the TBs until it is just over the stops, and then lower a bit again. If you are comfortable with doing the Active Test, you could just manually lower the front to the bottom instead of using the bleeders. Active Test works only up to m.y. 2003, or thereabouts.
At the rear, it should stop at about one small inch over the bump stops with zero hydraulic pressure. (Then, if it sits at, say, 1 cm instead, you could just lower the rear height to 1,5 cm under spec to compensate, and get the pressure right)
If your pressures are high, then new/adjusted springs could give you a bit longer life for the globes, and increase the fluid difference with a grad' or two, and thereby give a smoother ride, maybe.
All this is very non-scientific, - a distillation of observations on the garage floor, but confirmed by actually checking the pressures over several years.
Very educative


At the rear, in your theoretic example, the car would be lowered 1,5cm as a final result? -by adjusting the sensor position, that is?
I will see if I can confirm your non-scientific observations on the floor of my garage
