Start soft, drive a couple of laps, check tire temps and talk about how it behaves. Adjust to reduce oversteer or understeer.
Make one change at a time, taking temps after a couple of laps and listening to the driver until the car gets too stiff or you run out time.
Record each change and the effect in a notebook (laptop, etc). Reference them later when adjusting for similar issues.
If you have the shock dyno reports for the damper, then you could calculate what would be very close. Then fine tune to the driver's tastes.

Or just crank them up to the hardest setting - I've found nothing else works. I tried one click down to start with thinking I'd take the same approach, but it was far too soft and was bottoming out over bumps on hard cornering. These aren't really great shocks for a race car.

What Andrew said.
PS - I hope you have a diff (LSD or such) - or the stiff setting is gonna help lift the rear inside and make it spin worse...
