Default tein flex settings

this may be a stupid question, and i don't even know if it can answered or not but here goes.

i am getting a set of Tein Flex dampers for my hatch, they came off my buddies DC2 ITR. what should i set them at? i don't care about ride comfort, i'm looking for the best handling i can get out of them. the other mods on the car are CF hood and Apexi WS1 catback. thanks for any help anybody can give me.

only you can decide what will work for you. but i when i had them i had it at 5 clicks in the front and 6 clicks in the rear. and i was at 3" no gap, with 24mm sway in the front and 23mm in the rear.

and it took me about 4 days of testing to get a setup that i was comfortable with..this means you have to drive the car and test it out yourself and then make adjustments.
