Idea is the same.
2mm over the base ride height is where I start.

1. Measure the ride height.
2. Measure the height as you lift the car. When the tires are no longer on the ground...
Take the difference between the two measurements. That's the droop.

If car pushes going into the turn, the rear end might not have enought lift(droop) for the weight to transfer.
If the car pushes coming out of a turn(on power understeer), the front end is lifting up too much and weight is transferred to the rear too much.

If the car spins out going into a turn, the rear might have too much droop resulting in too much weight transfer forward.

From the base set up the tire and saucing seem to have the greatest effect on handling.
And the next thing is droop, IMO.
