great idea, largely because of its simplicity. A couple of ideas off the top of my head for you.
1st- if you can join the spring mounts to one place, it should give you the option of mixing and matching the springs to get the desired rate.
2nd- joining the mount would also allow you to move the leverage point on the piece of chloroplast as well.

Also, you may look into a different mounting position for the cloroplast. at full drop, you are basically scooping the air up into the bumper. moving the pivot forward, which may require a longer travel, should allow it to more naturally flow the air under the car.

Of course, these all may be incredibly stupid ideas as well, so good luck!!!
