Default Koni Rear Adjustment

Can someone remind me which way to turn my rear suspension to stiffen it. Also how many turns are there from sort to hard?

What set up would cause under steer? stiff rear soft front or they other way round?

Thanks,
Gav

Thanks, fronts are easy, I do the adjuster. But its been a while since I changed the rear settings. When First fitted I stiffend the rear a bit and now want it a bit stiffer.

Thanks.

Here you go. As said the fronts are easy to adjust. This is the rears;




Edited to add our shocks are the 26series and only have two clicks incase you are wondering where the third one has gone.
