What is the proper method for measuring droop? At my local carpet track everyone uses the "over ride height" method. This is where we measure ride height first, then lift the chassis up and push the ride height gauge further into the chassis, where it stops is the droop over ride height. Typically between 1-3mm.

I was told this is inaccurate? So I tried measuring with a actually droop gauge and found that my right arm was 1mm different than the left!

I set my droop with the droop gauge on the rear of the car, unfortunatlely the way the alloy c-hubs are designed, the set screw securing the outer hinge pin disables me from getting an accurate reading!
