What exactly do you mean by bumpy?
If the car is bounces excessively after you hit a bump, then you'll actually want to turn up the rebound compression. Go ahead and try the higher settings as well as the lower ones to see if it helps at all.
If the the ride is just harsh and jarring, then most likely your springs are just too stiff for the road conditions. From my experience, Neuspeed Race springs are stiff but not too bad so you'll be ok. I don't know how much the adjustment knob affects compression damping on the AGX shocks but if it's significant, then yes, turning it down could be the answer...at the expense of rebound damping. That's the problem with single adjustable dampers IMO.
Another possibility if your ride is simply harsh is that you might just be running out of suspension travel too soon. You might want to consider extended spring perches like those made by Ground Control. You can get them custom made if you wanted to also. I had mine done by Benen.
Good luck and enjoy the shocks.
