it has total of 27 clicks or somewhere around there. Go to full stiff (clockwise), rotate back 16 clicks, that's your lowest setting. Below that setting the damping is really soft, it gets progressive at the end.

AFAIK, rebuilds cost 100 dollars each strut, not including shipping to Tein. My Tein Super Streets have 16 adjustments too, but I can crank them all the way to like 20 something past that. The instructions that came with my coilovers said not to turn them past 16. You should be fine.

Yep. That's how I've been adjusting mine, and I haven't had a problem in over two years.
