I did CFD 3 runs on the A2 body. these are degree angle.
0,0 -- >0,2762
0,5 -->0,2792
1,0 -->0,2904

So in that car level was better, differences in drag were big so should be able to notice the difference. If car is not high, lower it with racthes on springs etc to find the sweet spot front or back. It also changes roof and diffusor angles so results are not same for each car.
