The guys over at Hillbank are awesome. I too enjoy all the work they do. Ask for Michael or Ashton and tell them Derek sent you with the black CS. They will know ha

I'm not sure I fully understand your inquiry by the way you phrased your question. The shocks come matched up to the springs no matter what height you adjust the coilovers to. I guess you're asking how firm you should have the shocks set to the height you've adjusted the rear coilovers to? I currently have my coilovers set to: (front) 14 clicks from soft and (rear) 6 clicks from soft. I called BC Racing and they suggest starting at 15 clicks from soft for both front and rear...and adjust to your liking from that point.

The lower you have the car the smaller you want the shock. To get exact measurements i would probably call BC...But i just played with it till it felt right.

The shocks aren't adjustable in that aspect. They work for whatever height your car is at.

The adjustability on the shocks is for ride firmness. Soft/hard.
Front struts have them as well.
