Default Buddyclub N+ damper adjustment for EK?

I have searched but cannot seem to find exactly where i have to adjust the damper. I would assume you have to adjust damper from the top from the engine bay. I want to know the correct way to adjust damper. Please help me out this is for a 1996 civic and i didnt buy the suspension new. Hence i have no owners manual.

Pics will be appreciated!

Thanks logz! ill be picking some up in a couple days, one other question i had was its 15 way adjustable. When you turn the small dial you should hear clicks, but my question is when do you know when its back to setting #1?

Yes, you will hear/feel a click. You need to turn the dial all the way counterclockwise till it stops to be at the #1(softest) setting. Don't be surprised if you can get 16 clicks, as that is perfectly normal.

My friend had these, and he would always run a couple clicks from full soft or stiff.
Kind of interesting as to why they say dont though.
