A couple other tips for the rear install for those of you looking to tackle this:
1. Only cut 30mm off the rear dust boots NOT 85mm as in the current instructions. (I talked to the Ohlins rep about this and they are going to look to have the instructions updated. They were nice enough to send me new boots though.)
2. I found the best location for the adjuster hole in the trunk was 70mm directly below the hole for the mounting plug. The current instructions say to locate the hole only 20mm below the plug hole, but that isn't far enough out and the adjuster knob will hit the carpet still. (It will make sense when you are looking at it in person.)
2.5. I inserted a longer screw into the adjuster to help guide it through the trunk carpet panel.
3. Newer sets seem to come with an extra rubber washer which I placed in the "flexible spacer" location. The Ohlins USA guy agreed it didn't really matter if you have this in place or not, but it might help with noise.
4. I went and grabbed a pair of jam nuts from the hardware store to hold the rear shaft in place when tightening down the lock nut to final torque. Cost me 50 cents and was super easy.
