Hi
I dont quite understand what you mean by droop but you shold be looking to have the lower wishbone horizontal and the same with the steering rack to
minimize bump steer
what type of shocks are you using, do they have adjustable seat heights etc?
this might be worth a look
does that help?

Droop
About 1/3 of total shock travel seems to be OK
Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....

Between 1/3 and 1/2 of the total damper travel. I generally try to get the damper in its mid-point when the car's static and loaded.
