i have the GAB coilovers but the struts are manufactured by KYB so they are basically KYB struts. I know the REAR are 8 way adjustable but i was wondering if anyone knew whether the 1 or the 8 is the softest setting because i have it set at 4 and the ride is very harsh already....please help!

1 is softer, 8 is harsh. Kostamojen (fastest L in the West) runs his 2 front, 5 rear for hard street driving. He has very stiff springs though, so you may want to go one more notch stiffer.
