Default Strange Shocks

Just installed a set of Strange single adjustables on the rear of my car last week. I have a couple of questions about the setup on these shocks.

what is the nuetral setting?

I have Qa1 single adjustables on the front, what is a good adjustment to start with?

A good starting point would be 7 clicks from soft in the back and 3-4 from soft in the front.

Correct.

Soft = Counter Clockwise

Hard = Clockwise

Or, righty tighty lefty loosey.

And the Strange are 10 way adjustable.

definitely dont go full loose on the compression or you may be buying new headers soon. i would start with setting the compression atleast in the middle.
