starting point for QA1's?

I finally got my suspension stuff installed and I am just wondering where you guys think a good starting point would be to get the struts/ shocks dialed in?
If it isn't listed then its still stock.
QA1 275lb springs up front
QA1 12way single adjustables up front and back
BMR 1" Lowering springs in the back
UMI Adj. Panhard
UMI Relocation brackets
UMI SFC's
UMI LCA's
I think I heard awhile back to put the fronts at around a 3 and the rears around 6. Does this sound about right. The car is a bit of a pig so its full weight plus a little for a stereo.

I use 3/12 or 2/12 on the front [0/12 being full soft 12/12 full firm] and 7/12 rear.

Usualy works for me, though if the car is not leaving well, spinning a bit. I put the fronts to 1/12 and bump the rears up to 8/12 or 9/12

Hope that helps
