Default Gaz Gold 32 point dampers

These came with no instructions so left them alone.
I was sure Simon at Sitech said he'd set them 4 turns from hardest.
Whatever way, way too hard. Reading that turn counter clockwise for
softest, surprised I only got 4 turns before they refused to go further??
I always thought there would be some kind of 'klick' or noticeable
sound when adjusting. Nothing that I can feel or hear.
Seems way to easy to break something for my liking.
Any pointers welcomed, thanks.

In case it helps anyone else, the reply from Gaz:
"Yes four turns is the range of adjustment, start on full soft which is anticlockwise & then wind them up ¼ of a turn at a time. Bounce the car & what you want to achieve is for the car to return slowly & stop without any undulation. They do not have any clicks on the adjustment."
Have them full soft and the Incredible Hulk would struggle to 'Bounce' the car. And unless the initial ad. when I bought them was misleading, escapes me,how this is '32 point' adjustable unless it's/pair, LOL.
