Question Lowering a 958 Cayenne GTS

I just got a new 958 Cayenne GTS with the Air Suspension. I usually keep the car in Low level. I still find it pretty high and there are inches of clearance between the tire and the wheel arches.

I did some research and learned that there are quite a few choices of "lowering modules". Some claim to be able to lower the car for up to 55mm but I am still confused.

Looking at the Cayenne Catalog Specs. I don't get why the Normal, Low I and Low II and Loading level for the GTS is HIGHER than the Turbo and Regular Cayenne? I thought the GTS is supposed to sit LOWER than the rest of the car models. The Low II for the GTS is a full 15mm higher than a Cayenne!

Which Lowering module should I get?

Sorry In advance if I am asking stupid questions. I am still new to the scene.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just ordered a set of the Evolution Lowering Links from them. They look easy enough to install. But that still doesn't solve the mystery of why the GTS is actually Higher than the other Cayenne versions. And I also cannot find a way to set the car to LOW II? There is only Loading>Low>Normal>High I>High II.

I would contact someone at Porsche, I feel like that must be an error.
