This is from over at the DB12R thread but the way to measure droop will be the same on the 12R5 as any other car. Hope it helps:

Then we lift the car slowly from the ballstud on the pod top plate until the shock fully extends and starts to lift the car. You want to lift it until the rear wheels are just about to leave the ground and then measure your ride height at the same area. The difference between the 2 ride heights in mm will give you the droop amount.
