How do I set up droop on a Hong Nor iX5B?

Set droop evenly left to right, then tune the front and rear separately in small steps. On the iX5B, front and rear droop are separate setup settings, and shock length also affects droop and stroke; the kit information doesn’t give a recommended droop number or a specific adjustment procedure.

Use the same droop gauge and measuring points each time, on a flat setup board. Make sure the suspension moves freely and both sides of an axle match. Change only one end at a time, then test on track.

• If the car pushes through a corner, try more rear droop.
• If the rear feels loose, try less rear droop.
• If it traction-rolls, or feels nervous at speed, try more droop or less extension. More droop can also help reduce bottoming on jumps.

Keep notes and change in small steps; too much droop can make the car less settled on fast sections. If you tell me whether you’re trying to fix push, looseness, traction roll, or jump behavior, I can suggest which end to start with.
