    General definition: Difference between static ride height and with shock fully extended.

    It can be measured at chassis, shock eye or at hub---just make sure that if you are talking to somebody else about how much droop they run that you know where they are measuring it as 1/4" at the chassis necessarily 1/4" at the shock body or even at the hub.

    Shocks can have internal droop limiters. Some cars might utilize methods external to the shock to limit droop.

    That's a lot of car and serious potential to be experimenting with droop limit and shock settings before you understand what they are what effect they may have.
