For cars such as the m03 that don't have droop screws, o-rings/limiters are used to adjust droop. Droop is the distance the chassis rises before the wheels lift of the ground.
Maybe we have different car setup then. My home track is bumpy and little bit gripless. That's why I use large droop effect.
