Ohlins updated their installation instructions

Ohlins updated their instructions for both the front and back coilover install here:

https://www.ohlins.com/app/uploads/w...MI_BMSMR40.pdf

There is a change in spring preload and height adjustment for front and back. For avoidance of doubt, the rear preload is now a straight 40mm with a 190n recommended spring. To get an equivalent preload for my 110n springs I would need to dial in a 69mm preload.

Right now the ride is better than stock but still could be better and the car is noticeably lower than stock, so it would not hurt to raise it a bit. As I am running out of threads on the rear spring perch I may need to add a helper spring or go to a longer 228 mm Swift spring in place of the 200 mm ohlin spring to get the right spacing. Anyone have thoughts on whether one would have benefits over the other?
