no I don't think it is lower than Air set up
like I said, there is a limit to how low our cars will go,
and basically most of Air set up goes down as low as your car will allow you to go
(again, it depends how you set up your Air and which kit you got)
and how does OP know that he has a even drop all around?
does he have to walk around and measure it every time he raises his car?
and how does he detect if there is any leak or if he loses some pressure while he drives?

As for your second paragraph, do you mean how does one know if the car is level front and rear? When you have hydraulics long enough you just know. There are many tricks to knowing at what height you are at. As for the leaks well, if there ever is a leak (emphasis on ever, speaking from experience my car has never had one personally) trust me, you'll know it's there. No need to break out a bottle of Windex to see hydraulic fluid.

To answer question one it looks much lower than your sig

you have to take into an account that he has 20", so yes, it will definitely make it look lower than mine because his rims are more tucked
but I will like to know how far away he is from the ground
BTW, I'm not all the way down on my signature picture
I can go another 1" or 1.5" lower, but I decide to adjust my Air Setup because I didn't wanna crack my kits
and I'm glad to know that there are many tricks to find out what height you are at
I'm just glad I can solve that problem by pushing one button
anyways, OP, please post up a picture from better angle when you have time
and here is for you OCKlasse
stock rims, No BodyKit, all the way down
Let me know if that's not Low enough

I'm talking about the rear 
You have little-to-zero tuck (from what your sig shows anyway). Yeah even with 17s you should still tuck in the rear.
edit: If that really is all the way down, how could you fit a lip kit on it like your sig shows? Me thinks that pic was taken with the front all the way down and the rear up?
