Consistent suspension setup using Tamiya 53862 OP-862

The Tamiya 53862 Height & Droop Gauge is a straightforward measuring aid for model engineers and racers. It lets you confirm ground clearance and suspension droop so you can reproduce setup settings with confidence.

Essential measuring functions

Suitable for touring car tuning, the gauge captures both ride height and droop figures to help you balance front and rear handling. It is compatible with standard touring car chassis and is useful both on the bench and at the circuit.

How proper measurements affect handling

Maintaining correct ride height and droop ensures predictable handling and consistent cornering behaviour. The gauge helps remove uncertainty from setup changes so you can focus on fine tuning chassis balance.

Will the gauge help with corner entry and balance?

Yes. By setting consistent ride heights and droop you control weight transfer that influences corner entry and mid corner balance.

Can I use the gauge for both front and rear checks?

Measure both ends separately to record front and rear values. Adjust shock lengths or spring preload to match your target setup numbers.

Is any calibration required?

No formal calibration is necessary, but verify readings on a known flat surface and keep the gauge clean to ensure repeatable results.

Which other setup tools pair well with this gauge?

Combine it with camber gauges, a ride height gauge and a setup board for a full picture of your chassis geometry and handling traits.

How often should I log measurements?

Log values whenever you change tyres, shocks or track conditions. Keeping a setup log helps you reproduce successful configurations quickly.
