The most accurate way of measuring droop is actually to remove the wheels and tyres, then place the car on a flat plate and measure up to the axles. This way you can keep it consistent from tyre to tyre (they all have slightly different diameters)... and is good for Foam.

HiH

I thought you recommended measuring to bottom of the actual pin, and not the surrounding a-arm plastic? 4mm of droop would be quite a bit lower in the rear if you measured to the metal pin...
