Thank you; that was interesting. I assume the unit of measurement in the first graph is millimeters? It's curious that the rear moves so much (15-70) while the front only moves from 8-35, although I would attribute that more to suspension, if I had to guess. I can see what you're saying about the aero being sensitive to ride height and pitch though. With softer suspension, the car could rock back enough to get a lot more air than desired underneath it, causing potentially unwanted effects. I suppose that's where the tunnels could come in, as it would channel the air into a consolidated, faster stream and generate more downforce. I wonder how fast you have to be going for those to become effective though.
