Is the vehicle ride height lowered with the ZTK Track Performance Package or the same as one without the track package?

Default Not sure!

I think someone said they lowered the front with the big wing. At the Ring last summer I surmised that, makes sense. The large wing will lower the back, but, no telling what all that stuff up front does. With the small wing differential though!?
The Viper seems to have a nice rake in it!

My understanding was the front splitter is the same with or without the ZTK Track Package? Is this the case?

I would expect it to be the same.

I believe they are different. If you look at pictures of low wing cars the front splitter extends slightly past the front fenders and there is a small gap before the up turned “winglet”. On high wing cars there is another piece that fills that gap and looks to connect into front wheel well.
Actually makes sense that front would be different to balance out the downforce

The ZTK gets a larger side fence bolted on the splitter but same splitter. I was referring to the ride height being the same.

In order to put 5 degrees on underwing they would have to lower the front of car almost 2". Of course lowering say .5" could get a little more on all the front and upper surfaces, and keep some of the air from going under the car.
The underwing End Caps and MR tuning probably pick up both of the wing variations because of suspension travel requirements! Spring rate usually needs to be added for a big wing though. Perhaps that is that mechanical alteration problem switching them, therefore, they may simply switch out after all!

Perhaps an optical illusion as a result of the front splitter "winglet" end-caps or some good photo-messaging, ZTK Track Performance optioned cars appear lower to me.

We're probably seeing downforce in action as well.

It's unlikely a photo op pic would tear the underwing off!
