On the track I run one and a half turns up front (75%). The rears are hard to explain if you do not already own a set of Koni's. Basically, you stick a small allen wrench into the opening at the top of the shock and use it as a lever to tighten or soften the shock. I do two turns in the rear (aprox 30%).
Full soft as in all the way to the top?

I don't understand what you mean by "all the way to the top".

Well you move/rotate/torque something in one or the other direction, one direction lets say up over the 'middle setting' is the top and below the middle setting is the bottom.

So what I meant was, adjust towards the top (highest setting from the middle point) and therefore make it softest.

Question:

The koni's give you an additional drop right? With swifts (that already sit pretty low) that will probably be significant yeah?

No. The Koni's give you no extra drop.
