And the front droop off the c-hub ??

I've never been the best at doing droop etc
kit set up states 5.5mm
so on my gauge it has -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 etc etc so id set it halfway between my 5 & 6 marks on my gauge? Or would this be wrong (my Gauge is stepped not constant slope)

thanks for any input

I do mine with a droop gauge on the bottom of the arm( to make sure they are the same left and right) then I mount the wheels and redo the droop with a ride height gauge(over ride height)
