Hi, the above link is an explanation of droop.

Start with the kit settings, little (few mm) more all round for low grip or rough tracks. Little less for high grip or smoother tracks.

from the article linked to by above poster

Tuning with Droop
Typically, less Droop reduces body roll. Less in the rear will free up the rear a bit, giving more steering. More Droop in the front is good for better on-power steering. It should always be necessary to increase Droop for bumpy tracks, and decrease Droop for high-traction tracks, such as carpet.


Id say say thats wrong, less droop in the rear allows less forward weight transfer, under braking especially, and gives less oversteer. also more droop in the front encourages more weight to transfer to the rear axle under power, and hence less on power steering.

lot of duff information out there in internetland!
