On my QA1 shocks, double adjustable, I dialed both knobs to lowest setting and started there.

I would go 4 clicks on one knob, starting in the back, feel the diff, and then do the other knob.

Did same in front.

Ride height, you technically need corner scales to do it 'right' but start with a slight rake to the front.

Depending on the car, in order to get 'proper' corner weights dialed in, it could end up with a rake towards the rear. Hence why it's possible the factory had cars that were raked that way.

If you have adjustable end links on your front sway bar, basic rule of thumb is the bar ends should be parallel to the ground. That obviously would change as the ride height moves up & down with adjustments.

In some cases, you can load one side slightly more than another, if corner weights are off after driver/passenger/load weights are added. In some drag apps, some load the passenger side to help with even wheel lift.

Rear in most cases are fixed end links.
