oh computer sucks? I feel your pain
let me help u out

------
1. Use the included wrench (HEX wrench) to turn the adjustment knob on top of the piston rod to the hardest setting (full clockwise)

2. from the full clockwise position, turn the adjustment knob coutnerclockwise until "standard values" listed below are reached.

Front:
Turn Back 10 clicks (from hardest setting)
Rear:
Turn back 12 clicks (from the hardest setting)

USE ONLY LEVELS 1-16. Exceeding level 16 may damage the damper.

Drive at the standard setting and adjust as necessary to the best setting

-----
those are Teins suggestions

So, if 16 is the last click, how would you go PAST 16? And if I run mine at less than 8 clicks from full soft, are those are "imaginary" settings? I can feel a definite differnece between full soft and 8 clicks. I think these instuctions are stoopid, I just treat them like a 24 way.
