New Install: Tein SA adjustment question

$

Hey all,

I wanted to know if anyone knows a way to "zero out" the adjustment setting on the top adjuster knobs. during install i would hand tighten the upper bolt(talking about the rears here) and i had some adjustments so i took the bolt off two times from had tight, obviously put them back on and finished install.

btw, the ride was instantaneously noticeable, and MUCH better on corners, accelerating on the looping onramp/offramps. i feel like im taking turns at 90 degrees lol. theres an elderly home near my house and theres this straight away that always has elderly crossing to and from, without using crosswalk and normally its slow and a pain to drive through, weaving wide around them. BUT NOW, i just slalom through this maze of crusty old people with such control and close precision, im positive i hit two purses and barely scuffed at least one persons walker and maybe two.

so my question: if i inadvertently screwed/turned/adjusted the knobs on top, would it be possible? or does the allen key pretty much prevent any accidental screwed/turning/adjusting by fingers? im asking because if i want to change the adjustment to-seems like everyone is doing 11 up front or 10 in the rear(could have that backwards)-for comfort and control, i would be adjusting incorrectly if i accidentally adjusted with my fingers. i want to finish with both ends at 11 or 10 or whatever adjustment i use, not 11,12 and then the other end 9,10 for example yknow?

if anyone has any questions on the street advance, lmk. thanks for any advice or tidbits of info.

for anyone curious, the tein recommended 1" to the bottom of the threads resulted in a 1" gap on front and a little more than 1" in the rear when the 3g was on its wheels.
