Default Time to Adjust Konis

I recently installed my Konis SA and Im wanting to play with the settings now that I have experienced the settings I put when installed. First of all my springs are the Hyperco Hypercoils.

Progressive

front 360-580
rear 168-216
or sumthing close to that, thats the info online. Anyway the fronts are currently at one click to firm and the rear are set on full firm.

The way the car feels so far. the back is a lil too stiff and the car suffers when launching from a stop. On the freeway the car is super stable. The front feels good but a lil too soft for my tastes I wouldnt mind a lil stiffer up front.

So this weekend I will work on diff settings. Any suggestions or experiences?

Thanx

Allen wrench for the fronts, **** for the rears.

I'd like some adjustment recommendations for a 4/4 Koni setup as well.

Up front.... Try 4 sweeps from full firm, that's a good start. In the rear try 1/2 turn from full soft.... I'll doubt you'll like any more rebound than that in the rear, I like mine full soft.
