The stock nuts that hold the top hat on are locking nuts that are supposed to be replaced according to the factory specifications. Theyre cheap at the dealer.

Get some loctite blue for the suspension bolts you remove and replace, oh and PB blast to help remove those bolts!

It's 16 clicks total....
Start out by turning it all the way counter-clockwise and then go 8 clicks clockwise to "OEM/Basic Tein" dampening. Clockwise=softer, Counter=firmer.
I think.

I think.
im pretty sure its the other way around. also i thought tien basics didnt allow you to adjust dampening. i have the tien SS.

also when you install it have it at 1 inch. from the bottom and see how it looks. adjust it if its to low. 1" = like 1.75" drop? i forgot.
