The most I would go for any kind of adjustability through damping would be a 2 way. This car isn't quick enough stock or can pull the lateral G's it needs for anything as aggressive as a 4 way adjustable race setup.

I find it hilarious that BC/Megan Racing/etc/etc often claim 32 levels of damping for under or near $1,000. When in fact you should divide that 32 by 16.
On each individual adjustment, it seems like you can easily go past the threshold of usability when it comes to number of clicks. AST 4150s have 12 clicks if I remember right. And you can bet they actually do something useful.
