They're already pretty low downforce - it's not much, if any, higher than it was during the spoiler era. When the series moved to wings at the turn of the millennium, it wasn't done to increase grip - as was noted to me, the wings were explicitly designed to produce identical drag and downforce levels. The move was made to "make the lines of the car look closer to the road car," which is a stupid line of reasoning since the clear spoilers didn't changes the lines of the car any more than a wing would.
(The spoiler to wing proposal and the reasoning for it was allegedly made by Paul Gentilozzi, which will likely surprise no one)
