Congrats! I’ve also got a set of these in hand and just awaiting delivery of my Model Y; I’m also in NYC (LIC), where about are you located?
I live out in Huntington but work in Queens.

And already got a reply from Ohlins:
Kind of what we figured, but good to get confirmation nonetheless.
You have a triple effect At the same setting your fronts are going to be significantly softer than the rear, due to softer springs, revalved dampers, and what I mentioned above about the relative number of clicks in each.Just to clarify I only found the rears to be firmer than front at the same settings, but the springs on my car are different to standard R&T (8/11 vs 11/12) I kind of expect the rears to be firmer, I will change the settings in the front to compensate for that.
Not necessarily different damping capabilities but certainly different adjustment capabilities. I'm still playing around with my settings but have found 15 front and 30 rear to be in the same ballpark range of damping.With the fronts at let's say full soft, 20 clicks, the front suspension is just that - soft and plush. The rears however at 20 clicks are not nearly as soft. When I crank them down to like 30 clicks, they become just about equal in softness. Is there a chance the front and rear shocks have different dampening capabilities?
Installed myself, and no it did not make the ride more comfortable. Regrettably, just the opposite. Handling and control improved tenfold, but ride quality left a lot to be desired, especially in and around the NYC tri-state area. The tradeoff was just too great for me and my family to keep the kit. Sold it all to a fellow enthusiast who wanted to use it on a more track-oriented vehicle, which it'll be more at home on. Good luck with your Y! Hope the Ohlins kit works out for your needs.I just placed an order for the Ohlins RT! I have a model Y LR and drive in NYC area too. Did this make the ride quality comfortable? Also, what shop did you NYC folks install it at and how much did it cost?
I installed the Redwood Ohlins DFV kit in my driveway. I live in LIC but I don’t have any personal experience with the Ohlins RT kit. Good luck!I just placed an order for the Ohlins RT!

Dang. Now I kinda wish I hadn't pulled the trigger on them and did more research first. Are you back on stock?Installed myself, and no it did not make the ride more comfortable.

How are the DFV kit? Do they make the ride more comfortable?I installed the Redwood Ohlins DFV kit in my driveway. I live in LIC but I don’t have any personal experience with the Ohlins RT kit. Good luck!
Yes, the ride has improved significantly. I had initially purchased the RT kit for my car but then I was told it would be too firm so I swapped them out.How are the DFV kit? Do they make the ride more comfortable?
