Please note that all our European team drivers use the the downstop measuring method described in the Instruction Manual on the page #35.
So the downstop value in their setups is the distance from the chassis's bottom surface to the most outer lower edge of the arm.
I think that this is a very simple and straightforward method.
It does not allow dual interpretations and doesn't need any additional comments in the setup sheet in contrast to all others methods.
