Still using the stock Turnbuckle Eyelets (ASC31305) paired with Associated Ti-Nitride Ball Studs on suspension, producing a very free suspension.

Not quite that, but close. It is actually 2mm of uptravel before the shocks stop extending. Due to the nature of rubber tires, if you adjust them to only pick up after 2mm of up travel , you end up with actual less droop than 2mm of uptravel. Tires typically have about 1-2mm of "sag" that add to the effect of having more droop.
I learned this the hard way... After trying many set-ups of 3mm uptravel up front and 2mm rear, I gave up and started using droop gauges. After I found out how it was actually set, then I realized that I was putting like 1-2mm less uptravel than what the set-ups call for.

Everyone has a different method. I find it easiest by using aluminum set up wheels. This allows you to do it with a ride height gauge and measuring the 2mm higher than your ride height when the set up wheel picks up it's set at 2mm over.
Another way is the eye ball way. Measure your ride height and set it where you want it. Then pick up the car and observe the shock shaft. When it stops moving, look at the ride height gauge. The tires will still be touching the ground, but the shock will no longer extend. Set the droop to the desired point where it gives you the ride height you want with the shock fully extended. To find this out measure the ride height when the car is picked up and shock fully extended, for example 8mm and then your resting ride height, ex:5mm subtract one number from the other and you get your droop over ride height. In this case, it would be 3mm. The best way to do this is to set each corner of the car individually by placing the ride height gauge under each of the side you are doing at a time.
Hope the info helps.

hi guys,
is anyone running the TC6.1 front spool in the TC6.0 chassis?
it seems to be 3-4mm widder than the TC6 front spool, so it doesn't fit , even though it is listed on the TC6 page as a spare part:

Rear Toe
Hi guys,
Just putting a setup on my car from Olly Jefferies and got a question on the rear toe.
On the setup sheet the forward mount has 0mm spacing and the rear 2.5mm and a total rear toe of 3.1 deg - can anyone confirm this is with the 0 degree inserts in the hub?
I'm assuming 2.5mm is slightly thicker than a 2 deg and 1deg shim together but haven't got an callipers (working!) to check!
Thanks
Dan
