Default QA1 shock adjustment

Ok, don't flame me here guys. I just want to make sure I adjust these correctly the first time.

Which way do you turn the **** on the QA1 shock to make the ride less stiff (to the left like lefty loosy?)?

I want the car to ride just like the Bilstein sport shock so does anyone have any idea on what setting that would be? Thanks

Turn it to the left to make it less stiff. There should be a + & - on the ****. The best thing about adjustable shocks is that you can change them whenever you want with the turn of a ****. Don't worry about getting them right the 1st time, just reach under and turn it a click or two. Assuming you have the single adjustables, turn the **** to the softeest setting(all the way to the left) and turn it 3 clicks to the right and if you want it a little stiffer go one more. It took me a couple of trys to get mine dialed in to where I like it
