Default Adjusting coilovers?

Hi, I have posted this in suspension as well but thought I would try here too,

I have just fitted a second hand set of cusco coilovers to my 1995 WRX, I do not know what type they are but you can adjust the height and the damper stiffness/harshness.

I know that cusco coilovers can be quite harsh but these are ridiculously hard and every time I drive down any road it just bounces up and down through the tyres.

Does anyone know how to adjust how harsh they are? there is a small black **** on the underneath of each strut which I believe is how you do it and it is numbered 1-4 but it just keeps turning and I am not sure if I am doing it right?

Any ideas people

Thanks

Look in the engine bay and behind the rear seats and the tops of the coilovers are visable. On the very top there should be a little nut/cap to turn. That is usually where you adjust the stiffness
