I don't think you can use adjustments that work for other cars---or that a roadster--1/4, sedan 3/8, pickup 1/2
The spring friction makes a big difference in how "tight" the shocks need to be to control body motion
Each shock will be a little different at the same adjustment setting ----setting up by the weight--time method will equalize them, from there a little tweak, a nudge can make a big difference in resistance if you feel the action is tight or loose

3 days after lubing the springs my car went from too tight to too loose and I had to tighten up the shocks, lubing the springs, tightening the shocks made the ride better and less skitter on bumpy corners
