coilover dampening

So I just installed stance coilovers and got an alignment so I'm part way done but I can't seem to figure out the dampening. The back Is very easy turn by click but the front is different. Can anyone give a little guidance

As to how to adjust the suspension to make it less bouncy. I figured out the front dampening now and have tried the whole set up at full stiff and the back is still bouncing a lot what do I have to do to get it drivable

U have to have at least a 1/4 inch of preload on the springs front and rear. That will help, but the set up is less than perfect, no matter what you do. Good luck

How do you adjust the Dampening in the Front on Stance Coils? I just started driving the cobalt again since the snow is gone and I can't believe how "clunky" and "bouncy" it can be on these Michigan roads. I saw in some forums that the dampening adjuster is on the bottom?

front are inverted and the adjustment is at the bottom and in the preload. as powell stated you need a 1/4 of preload or else your pissing in the wind and even then its a less then stellar setup. if your slammed and the preload is maxed to get you there good luck doing anything.
