By adjusting the shock valving you will only stiffen the shock and will still suffer from minimal compressed shock travel and will not be ideal. I suggest increasing spring rate to support car height as needed putting shock in sweet spot so you have necessary compression/rebound.
In this instance, it's a coil over so ride height is adjusgtable to keep the shock in it's sweet spot. Howver, coil bind is possible with to much pre load.
