sometimes its easier to do this with two people.
while holding down the tires, left the chassis by the shock towers until the control arms stop moving upwards and measure the ride height. So if you want 2mm of droop (most common setting), the new ride height should be 7mm. If it's not, adjust the droop screws until you get two mm of droop. Scotty and S&N's trackside showed me this a little while ago, works awesume.
Thats a cool idea. I tried it the way that you said and modified it as follows:
I put the droop gauge under the chasses where I wanted the droop set and lowered the tires to the table. I used a piece of paper to determine when they touched. I didn't like how I was squishing the tires, since I would probably do it inconsistently, trying this by myself.
