In which case, as droop is 6mm front 5mm rear this would mean that there when there is a massive mass transfer (heavy braking for instance) the shock does not extend fully (reminder - the spring is too short to extend the shock fully by itself), and the car would float?

I'm heavily confused

Thansk!

Yes, 'Form' refers to the use of the rebound foam.

On Andys' sheets, yes, pressure is the amount of rebound built into the shock, in this case no rebound....although I'm not too sure what you mean by the car floating?....

The cells are directly in the centre, no rear or forward bias, this is not the best position.....

I've used 14lbs rear and 16lbs front. Oil 40. Mandatory tires Schumacher Dragon White.

I know that (in Uk) someone is racing over polished wood, I believe the grip to be almost the same (zero).

Can someone give me an idea?

Thanks

Anyone?
