Default Droop and Ride height

I usually mess around with the ride height only just to make sure the bottom of the chassis does not hit the ground at any given point on the track. Yesterday at a track, I was messing around with my droop and ride height setting and it seems like this two settings are very well related with each other.

If for example you set a droop setting of 6 on the droop scale, as you increase your ride height, the droop slowly diminishes. The reverse of this is if you set your ride height at 6 for bumpy tracks (using the ride height gauge), probably the highest droop you can go only is around 4 on the right height gauge.

It seems like using the droop gauge is unreliable and I must use the droop screw in relation to the chassis to achieve the correct setting.

What's the correct approach on this? Which one do you set first, droop or ride height?
