Default Koni yellow shocks adjustement before install??

I bought a brand new kit of KONI YELLOW combined with H&R SPORT springs for my 01 accord coupe 4cyl.. I'll be installing them in about 2 weeks when i'll be on vacation. I'll make sure to check out various installation DIY and FAQ's to make sure everything is fine (still i have my honda factory manual)

But i was wondering, with those springs.. anyone could recommend me the "right" settings to use? (on the install schematics there showing the shock body in hands and the other end in a Vise and you turn it counter or clockwise, extended or compressed?) i think it's to adjust the rebound.. Damn pictures without any explanations!!! lol

As for the settings "on the car" i'll try them out once everything is installed.

Anyways, if you need me to post pics of the diagrams or whatever, dont hesitate.

thank you!

You have the white turning **** thing to adjust the top for the stiffness, I can't recall exactly what it is but I'm sure the papers that came with them have it.

The other thing with Yellows is the perch that the springs or coil overs can sit on, I WANT to say it's as simple as pulling it off and moving it but I'm not sure. The perch can lower the car another 1.5"
