I never really cared much about splitters, but I was always told that height plays huge role.
I appreciate that kind of question and we should add that to the informative packet. The tests were performed at stock ride height.

Splitters are affected by ride height. As ride height decreases (lowering the car), the splitter will increase downforce. You don't want the splitter to be on the ground, but other than that, you gain performance. You can see this in NASCAR (no I don't like that form of racing), one main goal of setting up the car is to get the splitter as near to the track as possible without rubbing too often.

I'm on my phone away on business . Hopefully not too many grammatical mistakes were made.
