Make sure everything is torqued (mounting hardware and such), check for any obvious leaks (note that they're assembled with some assembly lube so my shafts got "wet" looking brand new), check the stroke of the damper is smooth and respond appropriately to the damping adjustment knob, and I'd check that they're set back to Ohlins' recommended setup regarding preload and such as springs settle and you may want a different height setting.
It's not tremendously expensive to get them rebuilt or revalved by Ohlins USA and we have MUCH better support here in the US than a lot of countries, from the sounds of it. I know a few other friends with Ohlins and they've had amazing support if they had issues, which were user error or general old age (5+ year old race dampers, lol)

Thanks for this. I'm having my performance shop inspect it when it gets there and that should be reassuring. I just want to make sure that before I take off my OEM suspension, putting these used Ohlins won't make me go crazy. I have high praise for Ohlins after reading this thread and i've been talking to Jake from Ohlins USA about it.
The member is sending everything (I mean everything) when he first bought it. Including instructions and what not.
Anything else that I should be looking at / be worried about?
