Default qa1 rear shocks

My buddy just got some brand new for the rears on a 98 z28. Well the problem is that he didnt get directions with them and the website dont show much either. I figure all the way to the left is adjustment 1 and to the right counterclockwise will be setting 12. But what does each adjustment do and what will be 50/50 be, (6)? If so what are all the others, because for the track it would be ideal to change valving!
thanks, Tom

I believe they are the same as the front shocks, where fully counter clockwise would be 1 (the softest setting), and fully clockwise would be 12 (the stiffest setting).

That correct clockwise firms the shock up. For a street or street/strip car i would use a setting of 7 or 8 as a good starting point for the settings. If you have any questions please give me a call.
