The race track car discussions I've read in forums favor using conveyor belt material. In practice runs the parts that are too low get worn down by friction, then come race-time there is no friction but the spoilers are at the lowest they can be for that particular track.

Problem in comparing to street use is the variables and unexpected conditions we come across. However anyone with a low slung car knows which driveways to avoid by a glance. Still, there are always surprises.
