I use 425 on the front and 325 on the rear with my GAZ gold's and 8 clicks from soft both ends, perfect for road use (no matter how hard you are trying)and when I did the ring recently I put them to max hard (20 clicks)

10 clicks from hard out of 21 front. 11 clicks from hard out of 19 rear.

Set by the highly scientific method of driving repeatedly over a set of particularly nasty speed humps at work and adjusting to give minimum rebound without 'crashing' over them.
