TF tuned sells all the kits.If they don`t list what you want phone them,they are incredibly helpful. As your forks are coil,I guess you mean the stanchion seal kit?These are pretty much a universal fit to all the 32mm stanchion RS models,and cost £30 from TFT. If you are only taking the lowers off,you may not need the seal kit,unless you find that they are leaking or worn.My seals were still in good nick when I serviced my forks so I cleaned them lubed them,took the foam rings out cleaned/lubed them with plenty of 15wt oil.
You might find you only need some 15wt oil.I get mine for £6 from Chain reaction. Have you read the service instructions on the RS website?There are also some good video tutorials,on there. I think I probably need to service my fork at some time soon (Tora SLite 2009 which apparently is an OEM version of the Tora SL?) This has turn-key lockout and rebound damping adjustment but no other adjustments. Couple of related questions - Is there a cheaper alternative than paying £30 for the service kit which seems extortionate for just a few seals? The service manual on the SRAM website is from 2006, and it has instructions for u-turn forks but doesn't mention non-u-turn ones. Is there any difference servicing these?
I love this fork. If you get deal on an OEM version, it absolutely can't be beat for anywhere near the price. Adjusting this component can become a hobby for the chronic tweaker - check out the 'Reba fine tuning' thread on the 'Let's talk about shocks' forum. The lockout has its pros and cons: it's easy to use, and has an adjustable blow-off valve and remote option. On the other hand, full compression damping lockout on a fork puts you at full shock extension while climbing, unlike the Marzocchi ETA that locks the fork down for better weight distribution uphill. A rebound damping lockout would be useful here.
Still, the 32 mm stanchions and dual bushings make for a relatively flex-free experience - does anyone know of another 115 mm single-crown fork this stiff and adjustable at under 4 lbs, for less than $500? I love this fork.

I was a little weary about going with the Rock Shox becuase I was very unhappy with my Psylo.
The Prius is the best-selling hybrid model in the world, with more than 5.7 million units sold. The brand has gone on to produce a number of best sellers, amongst which the Camry, Corolla, Land Cruiser and Prius. 94 toyota camry v6 repair manual transmission.
That was before Rock Shox started using SRAM. I had heard a lot of good things about the new Rock Shox so I wanted to try it with an unbiased outlook.
I set the positive and negative air to 115. The shock is really active and super smooth. I set the shock to this and it works flawlessly. I rarely use the poploc feature but it works really good.
I have never been big on lockout features. So far the shock has held air really well and has worked smoothly. I would def recommend for a racer or cross country rider. With 4' of travel you can't do crazy drops or anything extreme like that. The fork also doesn't flex much so it steers where you want it to go.
I gave it a 4 for value since the msrp on these forks is insane but I got mine stock on my KHS XC Team. I was a little weary about going with the Rock Shox becuase I was very unhappy with my Psylo. That was before Rock Shox started using SRAM.

Strength: Smooth, very easy to tune and the pop-lock feature helps me stay focused and keep both hands on the bars in techincal terrain. Five tuning options: positive air, negative air, rebound, floodgate, and compression (lock-out). Something that I didn't know about this fork prior to the purchase was how the floodgate works. If you wanted to ride with the fork locked-out until you reach a rocky section and let the fork do the work of disengaging the lock-out then you set the sensitivity of the floodgate.
The force applied by a rocky section will then disengage the lock based on the sensitivity that you set and then the fork is active or bobbing.

I consider this my first 'upscale' fork. Right away you notice the weight savings. A whole pound off the Tora originals. Bike jumps up and scoots.
It came minus a Poploc and I rode it that way for a month. Almost decided not to get the Poploc for simplicity sake, but ultimately got it, and glad I did. No expert, but I inherited a whole lot more talent by springing for these forks. A bunch more control and confidence in attacking the curliest technical stretches with these. Can't tell you how they compare to equivalent Fox. But I am extremely happy, especially at the price I paid.

But I am extremely happy, especially at the price I paid. I used to have the pike (with a firm spring) on this bike. It was swapped in to do the job last year after spending 2 other seasons on my AM/FR bike. The bike was just too light to use enough of the suspension effectively, plus it was pretty heavy for a bike like this and i wasn't using the top 20mm of travel setting anyway. I like the feel and setup this is a big improvement in small bump control, and weight. I have scratched the coating on the stanctions in the past which in turn causes the top seals to not work, but since the 05 it seemed to be better. If i had been using the whole 140mm, i might have gone with the van 32, or possibly float, but, the f120 was out of my range and this had got terrific reviews.

So i put it on and swapped the motion control from my pike. Long-term reliability aside, this fork is terrific.
And i like the lockout being at the top of the travel, it allows for me to have a near rigid for commuting with a upright position. And a great suspension for off road. Mine set at 115+ 110.
