Rcdougie.......Thats not too much droop but you might want to check the overall length of the shocks. They should be about 66 to 67mm long and you should have no problems getting enough droop. If they are shorter then that then you will not get enough droop. Also the rear shock tower is about 1 to 2mm taller then the front so if both sets of shocks are the same length but you cant get enough droop in the rear it might be beasue they are too short. I personally run the front tower all the way around so the shocks can be the same length and can get the same amount of droop at both ends of the car. Hope this helps.....also if the shocks are too long the piston will hit the top of the body, when the lower arm moves to max up travel and can lead to bending the shock shaft so keep an eye out for that aswell.
