The "feel' that you are trying to achieve the same is due to the fact that as a tire wears down, there is less sidewall flex, by Adding droop you increase traction and body roll (to a degree) at each independent end.

Just trying to be explanatory on DaveW comments, if read wrong, they might be confusing.
I'm not sure how your droop is not affected by tire wear. As the tire gets smaller you loose ride height. IF you adjust you shock collars to raise your ride height you droop does change. I normally keep my droop 1mm about what my normal ride height is. 5mm ride height plus 1mm op droop/uptravel. If I loose right height and adjust for that and don't adjust my droop screws I will no longer keep the same amount of droop/uptravel and my car will essentially not handle the same.
