Just trying to be explanatory on DaveW comments, if read wrong, they might be confusing. The "feel' that you are trying to achieve the same is due to the fact that as a tire wears down, there is less sidewall flex, by Adding droop you increase traction and body roll (to a degree) at each independent end. Either way, be consistent and keep records of what does and doesnt work.īTW, droop is not affected by tire size whatsoever. He likely checked droop AFTER the run, OR those settings were the results of twisting on the droop screws a bit each run to get the car to feel the way he wanted it too, and those were the subsequent numbers. There is/was a setup sheet on the AE site where one team driver had four different readings on each corner of the car for droop. Team drivers include these numbers on their setup sheets, but it is important to test for yourself. The 5 and 4 mentioned is measured using the AE droop gauge, and are starting points, as the tires wear the 5 and 4 settings will need to be changed for a similar feel from pack to pack. How you check droop is repeatable on any tire size, and is the best way to do it IF you check your droop and tire size every run (foams/carpet). Matt morrisSave yourself all that trouble and just use the included droop gauge. I guess thats all.hope that i didnt make it sound to cunfusing.i am still trying to learn how to.and understand the droop things and how it works. So my question is that when i look at a set-up off the associated site and it says 5 for droop in the front and 4 for the back.how do i measure that.? I need some info if somebody would want to help me out.i was thinking of getting a ft tc4.i was going to trade my rdx off for one.now with droop on that car i set it up by backing droop screws all the way out.then do the same with shock collars.then set my ride height at 4mm all the way around.then i take my ride height gage starting with the front i use the 5.5mm then take droop screw down just untill the tire comes off the board.then vack it down untill it hits the table again.i do that both sides.then in the back i do the same procedure but i use the 6.0mm on the gage.i am start by using 59mm tires.then as my tires ware i then decrease droop.as to my knowledge doing this way will give me 1.5 of droop in the back and 1.0 of droop in the fron.
