Default Koni Classics - Initial settings?

Well I finally have all of the parts to start on the suspension for my 69 Camaro. I plan on doing it in stages to prevent burn-out, plus I can't decide on wheels so the ATS spindles and C5 brakes will have to wait.

I'm gonna tackle the DSE front and rear springs with the Koni classics this week. Where should I set the adjustment on the Konis? I read a post from Chicane67 on PT.com about running them full soft but I want to make sure before I start. The car is a small block with aluminum heads (LT1), with DSE 2" drop coils (550 lb?) up front and 3" drop leafs (175 lb) out back.

I know it's easy to pull them and re-adjust, but it's hotter than hell this summer and work has been just as hellish. I don't have the time or energy to fine-tune right now, so I am looking for a good starting point. Anyone have any experience with this setup that can share?

Thanks to all who can help. -eric
