calculus was explained to me as a "how close you can get to an object without actually touching it". splitters' performance could be explained in the same way. closer to the ground the better it will work, right up to the point it touches the ground and then it stops working all together. so get it close but if it's too close it will purpose. aka bounce off the ground as it goes from Downforce, to stall rapidly. the perfect height depends on your splitter, tire and suspension combinations, just keep it off the ground. -
