they should've come with a **** that you put on top of each shock to adjust the stiffness. if not, either call Koni or call up that dude and request it. counter clockwise is firm; clockwise is soft. it will say on the ****. oh, and there's really no accurate way of measuring how much you've turned except by guessing. There are no markings or "clicking" noises, etc. you just kind of go, "Okay, two turns on this one. then i guess two turns on the other."

Yep, you should have got a **** with them. I've heard not to make them completely firm. I turn mine to the firmest setting, then turn them back about a quarter turn. It's suppose to increase the life of the shock.

I don't know what ***** you're talking about. The rear should be the same as the front.
