Rear Anti-Squat
Rear anti-squat design is used to prevent the rear end from squatting down too much under
acceleration. It also helps the car to have a quicker initial acceleration. The harder you brake or
accelerate, the bigger the effect of anti-squat is.
More Anti-Squat
Less Anti-Squat
A little more powering out of
corners
Jump a little higher and further
Resist squatting on corner exit
Better ability to handle large and
successive bumps
Too much anti-squat can make the
car spin out in turns
More rear traction while
accelerating on a slippery or
dusty track
More side bite
Little anti-squat makes the rear
end stable.

Droop
Droop (or Down Stop) is used to limit the downward travel of the rear suspension. The droop (down
stop) point is measured as the distance between the ground and the bottom of suspension arm
(need to place the car on the wheels). Before start to measure the rear droop, please make sure
both left and right hub carriers are of the same level.
If the suspension is going to be able to absorb ruts and holes without upset the car, an adequate
droop setting is critical.
Basic Setup: Front - Max Rear - Max
