Should I be worried or checking on anything for a set of used Ohlins that I bought from a member here? 15K miles, has never seen any inclement weather (including rain!). Claims that there was a few track days and has babied his car, which I definitely believe from the way he presented himself.
Any advice is appreciated!

I too read this thread thoroughly, as well as all the rest. Everyone's reviews and setup info has been very helpful, it's much appreciated!

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) |

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?

I've got 5 autocross events and a few thousand miles of street driving. No issues so far Hoping for no issues at the HPDE next month.

I managed to mate the 20mm adjustable Whiteline sway bar and endlinks with Ohlins only using the 2nd (firmer) hole. Used the spacer and couple of washers but still the clearance is minimal. Tomorrow will try replace the endlinks with Hotchkis ones which are much thinner. Already clear that I'll have to shorten the Hotchkis endlings by at least 3 cm to make it happen... Ohlins have very unique design, nothing like any other coilover for this car which makes putting together various tuning parts a head ache
