Angle of droop

The Book doesn't seem to say what the lower limit should be of the front suspension travel. At rest the lower arms look about horizontal. Any opinions? Any pragmatics?

I believe that the pivot points should be level - centre of the lower ball joint to the centre of the arm joint.

This would make it look like it's slightly tilted down.

It is the pivot points as David states and not the actual lower 'bone...
