Hey pops,
You mentioned setting my droop to 6mm in front & 5mm in the rear. How are you measuring this? Since there's a few different ways to get there, which method do you have? With the wheels taken off, I measure the end of my arms( how far they drop down in relation to the chassis) and make sure it hits the mm's I want on the droop gauge. I'm using the AE one where it has a flat side that reaches over underneath the chassis. But when I put the wheels back on, I hold the wheels down and lift up the chassis and only get a difference of 2.5-3mm of uptravel. This is from starting at a ride height of 5mm and ending my uptravel at 7.5-8mm. I thought 6mm of front droop is 6mm of uptravel added to the starting ride height. Am I incorrect on this? - JB
