am a complete novice mechanic, but received the ohlins kit for the ND, swift spring upgrades 7/4, and karcepts spherical mounts recently, and I had a couple of assembly questions as the parts don't match the (already not-so-great) instructions from Ohlins
1. the karcepts mounts *do* include their upper spring perch, so if using them you don't need the included ohlins part "upper spring seat" (part 8 for rear, 10 for front) - GWR patiently answered this for me already, but adding this for posterity
2. Swift springs - the ohlins mounting instructions recommend 2mm of preload and show the spring mounted in diagram at 198mm, but the springs received are 205mm. 7mm of preload at the same spring rate doesn't sound right? should I take that extra 5mm out of height adjustment?
3. camber adjustments - out of curiosity as I look the ohlins instructions and compare with the karcepts mounts, but how do camber adjustments work with this setup?
