Dial at base of shock adjusts compression dampening look at the top of the shaft there is a little drilled button up there for rebound adjustments. These shocks are know as "KONI double D" shocks. I have another set of rears but the would probably need rebuilds as they have been sitting for over 20 years. $450 for the pair to anyone interested.

Then you turn it all the way counter clockwise to get your starting point. After turning left and right shocks about 3/4 of a turn clockwise. I compressed them both side by side and let them rebound. While watching to make sure they rebound at the same rate. Some minor adjustments and I nailed it!!!
Best ride ever

Maybe I missed it but what tire pressure are you running?

I had them at 2.4 bar but now I'm at 2 bar which is roughly 30 psi.

Inflation pressures don't necessarily reference from one type/brand/construction of tire to another.
