Which splitter are you referring to? Typically a functional splitter requires additional aero on the rear of the car to balance out the downforce.

I don't think lowering on stock bolts hurts aero as long as you maintain proper rake.

Yeah, I just through that out there.. I too am running a front splitter on my TS bumper... To me, there is no adverse effect BUT I am far from an expert in the matter...
