I have a C5 Z06, inverted Koni Sport with the adjusters at the bottom, so not sure if we have the same shocks...

Anyhow, to adjust mine:

If you are looking at the adjustment slot, it is Left to right to soften. Don't over adjust, go full soft first and then count the sweeps right to left to stiffen. Never leave the shock ajusted to full stiff or full soft, always back it off at east 1/2 a sweep, otherwise they stick.

E.G. From under the car with the adjuster slot at the BACK side of the shock, go from drivers side to passenger side to SOFTEN.
