I think ideally you want the length set so if you lift the car you have about .5 to 1mm of upward movement from rest with batteries etc. in the car (droop) before the shock is at full extension.

Have i explained that in a way you understand ?? it makes sense to me but then i wrote it
No worries it makes sense I'll check it out tomorrow (it's getting late here in NZ) and I was wondering about how droop was checked in 1/12th anyway.

The shock is a short as it can get as it happens. I assumed from the instructions that the plastic ends should be on as far as they can.

Thanks.
