Wink Megan Street Coilover Settings?

For those that have the megan street coilovers, what setting is most comfortable for street? Car currently runs a little too stiff and I would like something a little softer since road conditions can be pretty harsh in many areas. I did a search and found that making the adjustment with the knobs are by "clicks", but I was wondering how many turn(s) is 1 click?

It really depends how low you are. the lower you are the stiffer it needs to be so you don't bottom out. I had might set relatively stiff (5 or so clicks from full stiff) but I was pretty low on my 16s. I have tracks now and have these set about 8-10 clicks from full stiff. There should be 32 clicks from full stiff to full soft. I'm guessing a click is a 1/4 turn.

Unhappy

So should I first turn the knob to the left (counterclockwise) towards the soft end all the way, and then to the right clockwise towards the hard setting to the desired number of clicks (1/4 turn)? Should I expect to hear a noticeable clicking noise when knob is turned? Info on ride quality (smooth, rough, etc.) at chosen setting would also be very helpful. Thanks guys

-btw the car is lowered but not slammed
