On that particular set there are around 40 clicks from full soft to full hard and the incremental difference is noticeable throughout the range, maybe not on a single click, but 3 or 4 make a difference you can feel. I'm running the car 8 clicks from full hard at the front and 6 clicks from full soft at the rear and that works FOR MY CAR! But so little is standard on my car that these settings are no more than a starting point for anyone elses setup!

That sort of adjustement makes sense. I don't understand twhy teh vitesse was full soft to solid in just 5 clicks. Bizarre, but seems to be the case with others too. These are recent purchases. OK, about 3 years, but only recently fitted.
