Quick Q about PN Pro II/III springs setup.

So since these are 1/2 the stock height, would I simply add a buttload of spacers or are there better means of using these springs? Also, I keep hearing about this droop technique, but I've no idea what it is exactly.

So I gather its just ride height? Also, I'd have to debate if the extra total weight added by spacers is worth it or not. I may just try using MR Low Down springs with like 1 spacer instead of the AWD Pro with 2-3 per knuckle.

Edit: Well, screw it- ordered that set and a set of .2mm for fine adjusting and Speedy AWD3 motor to see how my MR will do with a "stage 3" motor in it.

Its alot more than just ride height, droop dramatically changes the way the car performs. may not be a big deal if you are not actually racing on a track and i doubt it makes much of a diff for drifting. also if you get too low the front knuckles will pop out.

I still don't really get droop. The article Vaz linked explained what it does, but not how its done.
