I'm just thinking this is a case by case thing, not sure there are many advantages if the side skirts end up lower than the front. You don't want to go into hovercraft mode on the highway - just saying.
HI,

I can't seem to get pics on here but my car is a standard (well except for some of my mods!) 2003 VW jetta TDI 5 sp Station Wagon.

The approx dist from the ground to the underside of the front "valence" is about 6 inches off the gound

Jettas have a plastic engine compartment belly pan...That is behind the front valence somewhat but it it about 4 inches of clearance under there to the ground

The front side just ahead of the front tires is about 4 inches.

just behind the front tires is about 6 inches to the ground

just in front of the rear tires is about 8.5 inches to the ground

the underside height at the end of the rear bumper is about 13 inches to the ground.

The lowest point under the car is the engine belly pan....it is shaped to seemingly deflect air towards the ground.

Hope this helps.

Andrew
