I have lowering springs on my Gen I and Gen II. I got the setttings from a good source who has installed them on many customer cars.

From all the way clockwise or stiff, 1.5 turns or 3 half turns. I have these settings on my car and they feel good, they feel better on the Gen I than on the Gen II. The Gen II feels a little bouncier.

I counted the total range of half-turns then adjusted all of them Half-way between soft and stiff.

Turn them to full soft. Mark the body and top part of the shock with a sharpie so that you can easily count turns.
Make certain that you maintain pressure while adjusting/turning as the shock will want to decompress and disengage the adjustment notch.
I found it easier to have an assistant pushing down from the top with the shock on a towl on the floor while you turn the body of the shock.

I did mine 1 1/4 turn to soft all the way around. Too bouncy in the rear so went to 1 turn there. That seems good.
