Yeah but the effect I mentioned last week felt much more than that. The car wasn't just lower at the back, it felt softer too, the springs were more compressed at rest. I figured it could handle less droop anyway while running indoor, a few times with the old car I had put the shorter shock shafts back on indoors as it sometimes felt better, mixed and matched front and rear too at times (long rear, short front and vice versa).
Then again, I didn't measure anything exactly, and am only ever working to find an overall balance so it could well be a mix of effects, especially given as far as I can tell the 511 does have more antisquat on the standard settings to the 501 (different rear mounting position).
It wasn't lack of droop affecting the jumping at the players either, it still felt fine till I smacked the back end up at the end of practice being an idiot!
