I'm seriously questioning this reasoning, if the air dam is low enough to increase CdA beyond the lowest part, wont it also help to decrease the car's drag by limiting the amount of air that goes under the vehicle, despite it going past the lowest component?

And additionally, isnt CdA measured from the bottom part of the wheels up to the highest point in the car?
