Default Koni adjustables?

Please excuse my ingnorance, my saff cos is the first car I've had with Koni adjustable on it, they were on the car when I bought it. I have no instructions and only just got a second hand adjuster. How do I know each shock is adjusted to the same rate? and were is the adjuster on the rear shocks?

The way i do it is to to twist to far left or right and count the clicks in, then do the same with the other shock to the same number of clicks. The adjustment takes up any wear in the shocks, so no need to stick them on hard unless you have to !

The rears are adjustable but they need to be removed from the car as you twist them .

I was checking out the adjuster key today, I can get spindle on each front shock to turn approx 2.5 turns between stops, I can't hear any clicks though, are the busted?

the front koni shocks dont have cliks. never use the extremely adjuste
ments. return a little of the top positions.
the adjustment is soft to clokwise and reverse.
