Mercedes used this idea on their FIA GT cars. I can't remember if it was 1997 or 1998 or both. But it had a significant effect on topspeed and downforce. The faster the car went, more dowforce pushed the car down lower, which reduced the drag etc. However, at slower speeds with less downforce the car naturally sat higher. I don't know how they controlled the car otherwise on bumpy stuff. I don't lnow if it was used on the 1999 CLR at Le Mans.
For your use, have you thought about how it would be in different conditions,in the wet, or in traffic?
