Default Adjusting Stasis TrackSports...

Sorry for the newbie questions here, but I recently purchased an S4 with these coilovers and am hoping to make some tweaks this weekend.

I am planning to raise my car from 25.25"Fr/25.5"Rr to Stasis Recommended Settings for Conservative Street Steup of 25.875"Fr/26.0"Rr. Once I have the wheels off, which way do I turn the perches? Again, I am raising the car....

Also, the previous owner had the dampners set "very aggresively". It appears that Stasis sends the shocks out with the damping set to their recommended setting. Does anyone know how many turns that may be from the most aggressive setting? Also, which way would I turn the dampener adjusters.

Basically I am just trying to get the car to Stasis recommended settings so I can see as a baseline how it feels. I may be bringing the car into Stasis to have them set everything back, but I thought I might play around with things this weekend (and learn something about my car's suspension setup while I am at it.)

FYI, the car has 800Fr/1000Rr spring rates... so that will most likely also be switched out, but I wanted to see how these short term tweaks work first. If anyone is in N. Tahoe/Reno area and wants to help me/show me.... I do have access to BEER!!!

Default If you're looking at the top of the shock, down the piston...

Adjusting the piston counterclockwise will stiffen the shock, and adjusting clockwise will soften it. I'd call stasis for a recommended starting point...or perhaps Josh at Achtuning. Not too many are running those spring rates, so it might be tough to get some good advice on that front in short order.
