What Eric said.
Also, another trick I find that helps to find your squat position is take an empty bar, set up the squat rack pins right below where you are at dead bottom of the squat, for safety. First, squat down withOUT the bar like a normal squat and see if you can hold the position, at dead bottom, for a 10-15 count. If you have discomfort, adjust while you are at the bottom. Then after doing that 3-5 times see how it feels with JUST the bar and the position you think is good for you at dead bottom. I don't recommend adjusting your position too much at the bottom when you are using the bar. But the pins are there just incase the bar is getting too much. Also, use the toe trick at the bottom this will help your form stay constant throughout the movement.
