Yes, this is another way of measuring droop. By doing this, you always maintain the same amount of chassis uptravel no matter what tire diameter you use and hence maintain consistant setup throughout.

We can use any body, so I run the Frewer Lolleta. Tried the Mazda 6 but it is worse.
Ummm, could it be too much rear downforce the shell is producing while accelerating? How much of rear wing strip is coming out of the shell on the rear of the Loletta? Try using smaller amount for less rear downforce. Or also if you can, try moving the shell forward a little like 2 to 3 mm, which you probably need 2 or 3 shells to test. The same also goes for the Mazda 6. Trim down the huge rear wing as the rear wing can induce a lot of rear downforce.
