Default Tein CS dampening?

What are your standard settings on the dampening for the tein cs? I just brought them recently and had them installed. I had them set at 8 clicks, then 6 clicks. Is that pretty stiff. Has anyone tried it at 16 clicks?

16 would be the softest.. I just got mine installed 8 days ago and we set it to 10 clicks front to rear... Even that setting to me is great.. i probably will adjust it a little more in the future....

I also have the TRD blue sway bars on and just installed the Tein cs coilovers. Mine are set at 14 clicks from the softest setting . The car rides great, but I would like it a little stiffer. I have done a search and am still not sure if past 16 clicks ( from softest ) is OK or damaging to the shocks. Any experts out there? Thanks in advance and love the website.

I have all 4 corners clockwise tighted to the top. It's 0/0 the stiffest setting and the ride is still perfect.

Thanks. Your info has been helpful. I will probable play with the dampening. I currently have it at 4 counterclicks in the front and 6 in the rear. It rides smooth but seems to feel everything in the road. Is that suppose to be true?
