How much does the Stillen lower the front - if any? I assume it's not as low as the air dam (which I seem to scrape a lot). I've tried to look at side by side photos, but just can't tell.

 Adding something as simple as the OEM sport front chin spoiler is functional, so it's not that farfetched to think adding a few inches of lip isn't going to alter the way air moves in front of the car. As with anything related to aerodynamics though, it depends a lot on when it becomes functional. Stationary or street driving, not so much. Full speed at a track, different story. Certainly some spoilers are more effective than others, but they are fuctional to a degree. Air has a lot of substance going 100 mph, it doesn't take much to direct or redirect that air flow. Just look at something as minor as a mirror on a rally car for example. For most of us that will never likely see a track however, a lip spoiler purely cosmetic with the potential to be something functional... same goes for the rear spoiler.
