how do you know if you're past the manufacture recommended maximum/minimum dampening point?

reason i'm askin is because Tein from the manufacturer states that the dampening system SHOULD be at maximum and to get it back down to a adverage you should make 8 clicks counterclockwise. My thing is there are no markings on the system that i can see like you'd see on koni and whatnot you have to go by "clicks" and they say that if you go past the maximum point that you may cause damage to the system (obviously) but since it's something that isn't marked off and it only states "maximum" dampening and not any way to go below the "minimum" (or at least in a dangerous way)

so the million dollar question is how do you make sure you're at the correct point when there's no markings?

anyone have any experience with this situation?

nm figured it out, searched on Honda-tech and found the answer. This booklet is really too confusing but i'm glad i figured it out be4 it was too late

if anyone else would like to know how to ensure it's set right (i know i sound like a dumbass but the damn manual doesn't make it clear enough to me)
