Like said above, if using Rubber Tires, use the included AE gauge to set the "downstop". If you are using Foam Tires, the tires will wear and ride height is effected, so this will have to be adjusted AFTER the tires are mounted and ride height is set.

When running Foam Tires, you really need to use a ride height gauge that reads between at 4-7mm. Use the ride height gauge to set droop above ride height. In other words, if you want a 1mm front droop (seen on many setup sheets) and have a ride height of 4.5mm, then you will place the ride height gauge under the car at 5.5mm and adjust the droop screw until the front tires just touch the ground.
