i always measure on the lower side of the arm (front of arm) when i run anti- dive (what i normally don’t do often). But from this side of view it is normally better to measure it on the center of the axle but that will give you different values which are not easy to compare with others. But that would be the most precise measurement for the droop!
I've been reading set up sheets where the value for droop is under 'arm' rather than pin, where is 'arm' measured? I assume on the arm but which bit? cheers
To this day i still don't understand droop. Considering the shock is pushing the arm down, all the droop screw does is determine the ride height. Watched vids and still don't understand it
With the car sitting on its tyres the droop screw should not be in contact with the chassis. When you lift the chassis (e.g. as the car brakes the car goes up at the rear) the chassis will stop rising once the arms hit the droop screws. If you lift the car up in the air the suspension arms "drop down" onto these screws, hence the name, droop screw.
Ilja Kiel Hi, droop is the amount of travel your suspension can go upwards. So when your car is ready to race and you lift it up at front or rear there is a defined amount of how much you can lift it until the tires are loosing the contact with the ground. That is called „droop“ and we adjust it with the small setscrew in the lower arms. Ride height is the height your chassis is above the ground when your car stands on its wheels. Droop is the amount of uptravel you allow your suspension to have! So NOT the same :-)
