Yeah I got them as well.

Am I correct in that the 856 rear shock contains two 45 mm elastomers and the front contains one 45mm and smaller one?  25mm maybe?

FYI, mine were rock solid, and I left it in my office window for a couple hours.  All of a sudden I go to ride home and they're soft as marshmallows.
