droop
eric, the method of measuring droop with the droop guages has caught on cause poeple find it easier to compare setting that way. the measurment & adjustment is really nothing more the negative suspention travel. with this in mind the method of measuring ride height with the car at rest then with it lifted (but with the tires contacting the ground) would be ideal, but it is seldom exact. i used to measure it that way but everyone i raced with was using droop guages so to compare notes i now use the droop gauge as well. i don't like it but it works.
