48.4 Setting droop on an EB48.4

[Chozwoz]

I set my ride height today at 29mm in the rear and 27mm in the front. I set the droop screws so that the lower arms barely drop at all when lifting the chassis. This just doesn't seem right as shouldn't the suspension droop a bit itself when off the ground? How do I correctly set this? Thanks for your help!

P.S. I also noticed I had to crank down the shock collars waaaay down to achieve those numbers. Is this normal? I notice my springs have quite a lot of winds in them vs everybody elses, I think they are referred to as "Low Frequency" springs? What are these?

Like above, it's just easier to cut and paste info rather than typing. From Tekno RC:

Our new low-frequency (LF) spring design improves traction by reducing chassis oscillation on rough track surfaces and large jump landings. Better stability of the vehicle is achieved, providing more forward grip, increased corner speed and quicker lap times.

Spring length has been reduced by 15mm in the rear to allow for lower ride height adjustments. This dramatically increases corner speed under high traction conditions (such as carpet or astro-turf) where lower ride heights are essential.

With additional coils as well as a larger wire diameter, the new LF springs feature a natural silver finish with a color indicator for easy spring identification. They directly replace existing springs (Part # TKR6032) and are intended to only be used on the SCT410, SCT410.3 and the EB48SL vehicles. Two (2) springs are included in each package.

When deciding to try our new LF springs, we suggest starting with the same rate you are currently running or maybe one rate softer. Compared to standard springs, our LF springs perform better in most conditions.
