Hotchkis adjustable shocks

Don't recall exactly how many steps there were in these (I think 22), but I'm running on the fronts at 18.
Not really sure why there are so much more "softer" steps that feel pretty much useless, unless you maybe drive a very lightweight car.

I've got QA1's on the rearaxle and run them at step 4 or 5 I believe (from 18? orso). It's definitly valved stiffer than the Hotchkis shocks.

The Hotchkis shocks were bought for an Abody by me.
The QA1's I bought just because they kinda fell in my lap, so they could be easily for a larger/heavier body-type.
