Start from the 0 setting and work from there. Its the mean value of what ever the damper/ rebound settings are.

For example:14 way adustable= 7 clicks from full counter clockwise/ clockwise.

In general:

Set both to full soft(0).
Add 2 clicks of compression
Drive it, and butt dyno.
Add 2 more clicks and butt dyno again until compression is "too stiff"
Then back 1 or 2 clicks out till butt dyno is happy.

Now add 1-2 clicks of Rebound and butt dyno again.

Always do compression first.

if only it was that easy. i hate the kw design with the compression on the bottom. our lower control arm gets in the way of the adjuster so its a complete pain in the *** to adjust these coils!!
