Best replacement seals for factory Marz?

plus 1 on blakelpd5's method on shortening the spring. But make sure it sits flat against the arc of the housing for even pressure distribution. Dirt will find the weakest path.
Also "all ballz” seals lasted just as well as Marz seals.

the forks turned out to be pitted so my local shop sent the lowers off for a toichup and rechroming before fitting the new seals. I also shortened the spring as suggested above

I've been told by a couple shops you couldn't "fix" the stanchions. Maybe I was mis-informed. If you don't mind, I'm curious what the charge for this is?

I had a new set of Nitrited Stanchions shipped to my door for around $300 if I remember correctly.

300 bucks! crikey I should have done that instead. I will find out next week what the damage is and update you.
Apparently they remove the existing chrome, fix the chips and re-chrome them. What they turn out like.

This is the same guy I bought mine from. He used to be a tech for Marzocchi, and I'm not sure how he got all these stanchions, but they are working great for me so far..

Hope it is fixed and perfect!
