ive got these fitted,

when you fit them, approximately where in the damper setting would you normally run them? 5 clicks in, 10 clicks in???

obviously subjective, but i just want to know where to head for, as im now using 17 rims front and rear. 235/255 tyres, which give a harder ride than the previous 15 fronts

and does clockwise adjustment make the damping firmer or softer?

From above,anti-clockwise softens them and the range is 39 clicks.I wind mine back to the stop (anti-clockwise)then wind the fronts on 20 clicks and the rears 18 clicks. If the other half is not a passenger I add a couple of clicks to harden them up slightly which suits me more.
You will have to tune them to your own suspension components and tyres.I have polybushes and SH droplinks which adds to the firmness,and I used to have them softer when I had Bridgestones but need them harder with the softer Toyo tyres.
So it's a matter of tuning until it feels right but 18-20 clicks up on each would be a starting point.

always about 2 clicks harder on the front compared to the back how hard or soft you set them is sujective.
