It also seems worth mentioning that lowering or raising the ride height can change the critical Reynolds number. The flow at higher heights will be closer to a free flow conditions and lowering it will approach a more constrained flow situation and cause the transition to turbulent flow to occur sooner. For rough undersides this is impossible to predict but for smooth undersides this is something that should be considered.
