New member here. Quick question. What is Droop and how does it affect performance?

Dokioto

The only thing I now is that it has some thing to do with th suspension arms.

Droop is how far the A arms can fall when they are 'unloaded'. There is a set screw (it's at the inner end of the A Arm on the TC3 - I imagine it's in a similar spot on the TC4) to set the amount below the ride height that the suspension can go before they reach the end of the their travel and lift off the ground.

Thanks, do you now how it affects performance.

Droop is the amount of down travel that your shocks have. With adjusting droop you can greatly affect the way your car handles. As you increase your front droop (making the shock longer) you will smooth the car out going into the turn and gain steering on the exit of the turn. As you decrease your front droop (make the front shock shorter) your car will initiate the turn quicker but will have less steering coming out of the turn. The car will also have a more responsive feel.
For the rear, as you increase the droop your car will gain more side bite and traction. As you decrease the rear droop, you car will become more responsive and will have less side bite giving you more steering. Normally on low bite tracks such as parking lots you will find more droop will increase traction and hook your car up. On high bite tracks you will find that less droop will help keep the car flatter and increase corner speed and lap times.
