You just add a 2mm spacer on to the shock shaft before sliding it into the shock body.

That removes droop. The question asked is how to ADD 2mm of droop. The only way I can see is to get longer shock rod ends. You can unscrew the current ones but then you run the risk of there not being enough shock shaft in the rod end and it getting pulled off.

Yeh you cannot increase the front droop as standard. The only way to do this is by undoing the ball cup a few turns as mentioned previously.

Not sure why you would want any more droop at the front as theres plenty anyway? Here in the UK we actually reduce the front by 2 or 3mm, which keeps the front more stable and easier to drive.

How does it make the car easier to drive? Would you put the droop in for both indoor and outdoor?
