Lower Air Dam

I have a quick question. Its something I've tried to search, but there are TONS of threads for "lower air dam".

My 94 9C1 Caprice Cop car had a lower air valance that was used to keep turbulent air off the crossmember and front suspension. This air dam was recessed under the car.

I was wondering, would There be any benefits for a air dam further back near the wheels? Or is it more effect to make a lower air dam/valence flush with the bumper?

Has anyone else does this? I'm curious about trying it on my Subaru along with a few other aero mods, but I was wondering if I would be better off with a recessed air damn, for a flush front lip.
