RKD thats exactly what mine looks like ( I have a CTT). I also have 275-45-20 tires ... so my gap is filled even more. I did mine via Durametric about 1.5 years ago. Lower definitely changes ride quality, and i notice changes between sport, normal, and comfort. That is just the way these shocks work.
Also as a side note: I just added front and rear mudflaps to the car. I really like they way they look. Yours look great to, especially when lowered.

heres some ****ty quality pics of mine after the 25mm drop. this is at the low driving setting. i also have the techart lowering module. i'll get some better quality pics later but at least you get the idea of the stance...
EDIT: i actually think the bottom pic is at NORMAL level.
So the lowering module doesn't lower it even more right with the durmetric? If I lower my with durmetric it will set that low? I herd of people removing or triming down the rubber snub I believe it's call inside the shock so the ride is not as bad. This is what a shop told me after he hated the ride after just the techart loading module.

well the ride with the lowering module at the low setting is intolerable. its ridiculously harsh but it looks awesome when i park it! i actually ride with it at normal level where the ride is great and it still looks really low as you can see from the pics...

Which brings me to my last and most important point, I have seen what I think is the same programming bug for the Level Control Module calibration. I have helped a few members through this.
In a nutshell, for no apparent reason, the Level Control Module changes the acceptable value range! So if you had "290" in previously and tried to put it back it, it will complain that it is not an acceptable value; which clearly is a bug. When this happens, I start in increments of "15" and keep trying to input it until it accepts the value. So I would first try "305", then "320", then "335", then "350". For about 100, plus or minus, around the 290 (for example). In every case, it will accept one of these values (please record accepted values for each channel). Once you get all four channels, accepted and learned (please save). Then get out and measure the distance from the ground to the inner part of your fender. Then go back in and adjust your numbers from there as a point of reference.
So if it accepts "350" for a channel and you want to lower it another inch (25mm), put in "375". Do this for the rest of the channels. As long as you get to the right end result, do not worry about the values.
Once again, you are working with a programming bug.
Send me a PM if you need me to expand on this for you. I will just have you call me.
Lets say I'm searching for a "number that works" on channel 1......it seems like I really only get one chance, then I have to go back through the adaptation and read process again ? I tried to just stay on the channel and put numbers in, but that did not seem to do anything.

Is there a way to lower the individual low drive and load settings?
My understanding is that with this setup we are lowering the starting point of the car (normal setting)? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I would like to make the low drive setting 25mm lower than stock, keep normal setting at stock and have it dumped on the load only setting.

I don't think you'd be able to do that either. What you are doing is changing the overall height. The amount of change between levels is still set. So basically lowering the number lowers all levels.
The suspension obviously has a set amount of travel. The Porsche engineers set the factory values with a little over 25mm of "buffer" travel at either end of the travel limits for safety factor/tolerance stackup..etc. What this mod does is bias the total amount of travel to the low side making more available at the high side. The controller is programmed with the incremental distance of each setting & we are not changing that with this mod. This is not to say this can't be done, but those setting would be different programmed variables & I don't know if the durametric would be able to access them.
