Thumbs up KW Variant 2 Coilovers

Well, Ive had my coilovers on the car for a couple of days now to "feel" the difference. Ive finally come to the conclusion that something is wrong. My car is very bumpy/rough at low speeds. The smallest dip in a road, that never bothered me when i had the stock suspension on, will make my car feel really bumpy. However, at high speeds its so awesome, It feels really really smooth and i think this is weird. I would assume that feeling a smooth ride in low speeds and a bumpy ride in high speeds should be the way to have it set up. but i don't know because im not knowledgeable in this area. It took me about 5 days of driving for me to be able to put what i felt, into words haha.

So after reading the instructions a last time, i realized that i have no idea what turns are. Can someone explain to me what a click and a turn is? Also, the difference between a click and a turn. (For example: Front Rebound: 1,5 turns open plus or minus 0,25 turns) This is what confused the hell out of me. Can someone explain this to me?
Thanks in advance.

I dont know if the V2s are the same as the V3s but on yours the V2s you can only change the rebound setting on the top I believe.

You turn the top with an allen wrench to change the damping rate. you first turn it all the way clock wise, turn it gently cause theres a point where it doesnt turn anymore you will feel it dont force it or the shock will break.

ok now your on the hardest setting.... now make 1.5 revolutions counter-clock wise or wateva the recommended settings are.

done, you can play around with it to your liking, and if you didnt yet get an alignment done on your car.
