The droop thing is what confuses me.
Two ways to do circles, on the track against a board or on a setup station. Both achieve the same thing IMO. Most new drivers don’t have a setup station, so doing a half circle each way off the same board and marking that spot will work just as well.

I measure front droop with the amount of sag on the front end at static ride height. Obviously, both should be the same on each side. I tend to run just enough to see that they are both equal on each side. Maybe 1/2mm on each side.

I always run the rear pod level or just a little lower in the front (.2mm). From that measurement in the front of pod, pull up on the top of the shock mount and measure again. That’s your rear droop setting.

hope this makes sense😂
