but then how does droop increase/decrease off power steering? just as in TC, increasing droop allow the back end to jack up higher and therefore allowing more weight to shift forward. in 1/12 I see it more at the pivot of a link car. so as you increase the length of the shock it increase how much up travel the center pivot is allowed to raise and therefore more weight forward and more steering.
i don't see how compression of the shock off power would be controlled by droop.
