basically, a higher droop value via droop gauge (for example 6 vs 4) means less droop over ride height.

I understand all that, i'm actually trying to compensate for some vta tires that are getting blown out.
I'm curious how far you can go with the downstop, and what the general rule of thumb is when i comes to droop, front vs rear.
Most setups i see have more droop in the rear, is it unusual or frowned upon to be in a situation where there is more droop in the front?
