4 in the front, and 1 click in rear.

I haven't made any adjustments yet.. only have had em on about a week, but I think I may go another sweep firmer in the front.

4 sweeps from full firm in front and 1/2 turn from full soft in rear (I have 4/4's)

There is no right or wrong setting because everyones wants or needs may be different.

That's a big change, just so you know. Over the course of 2.25 turns of range they have, you more than double the damping force. 1/2 turn is about 20% change, 1 is more like 50%.

No clicks.... how stiff is a matter of how far you turn the adjuster on the shocks you have. If you just turn expecting to hear or feel a click you'll end up full stiff and wonder how you got there. Work you way up 1/4 turn at a time and see what's what.
