yeah you should be cool, the rears have cartridges. Just take the thing apart and you will see that they are cartridges, I can't remember exactly how they were mounted but i know that you're fine. Are you doing the install on your own, because it isn't too bad if you're somewhat mechanically inclined (i.e. able to do brake work).

Like garb said, youre ok.

The rear ones look dirty cause they do dirty work. Clean anyway and paint if it disturbs u.

Do remember to add oil inside rear tubes while installing; for cooling. Use loctite as screwing the new cap nuts on the strut tubes.

yup, they'd sent you the right packages cuz the rear housing are designed to be resuable.
