Default Help with setting up gaz coilovers on my Sapph

Ive just bought a set of Gaz coilovers for my Sapphire Cosworth and was wondering if anyone has fitted a similar setup on their Cosworth?

Ant info on how many clicks etc to start off with to get me going?

360 bhp Cosworth, not a daily car just used for a nice blast now and again.

Any help would be great, cheers

Down to personnel preference really, also what spring rates are you running?
I personally have them set to the middle-ish and go from there.
I'm 225lb rear and 350lb front

Yes rear strut brace fitted mate

You might have to give your rear inner turrets a tap with a hammer as some coilover springs rub..
