Default Droop effect

Good settings for an experienced racer. But I think his car will be easier to drive with a little more droop at both ends.

psycho;
Do you let the tires leave the ground when checking droop, or do you just let them get light (able to turn with light finger pressure).
I've been using a small piece of paper under each tire to tell me when the tire just leaves the set-up board. Do you use the actual tire and wheels or do you use Set-up wheels. The O-rings are not very tight on mine and I question their accuracy.

Also when setting droop on my Nitro car using the up stops. I find small droop settings (1-2 mm) will slightly effect ride height.
