That's about it - you want 5 clicks from soft, turn it anti-clockwise until
you're sure you've gone more than 14 clicks and then simply click 5 the
other way.
Pretty silly design IMHO - annoying when you're adjusting them somewhere
noisy or cramped
(like most places you'd want to adjust them on the car) and you lose track
of whether you've
clicked a click or not and have to start again... Still, good shocks.
Cheers,
Neil
