Adjust two at a time, raise or lower one side of the car evenly, front/rear/left/right. I start at a 'zero' point with the perches just snug on the springs so they don't move, basically 'even preload' as it would be described by those who call it that.

Don't forget the rear has a different motion ratio, one turn on the front damper will be equal to roughly 3/4 turn on the rear. I have been happy raising the front equally to approximately what I want, set the rear approximately, then set the tilt of the car, usually it's ~2 turns to raise the left front, ~1.5 turns to raise the left rear and I'm usually within about an eighth of an inch of my targets. I'm on Bilstein which aren't terribly different in this regard to the KWs, I've done the same procedure on a different car with KWs.

That's just ride heights though, then you get into corner balancing...
