hi ive a set of 07 floats and a set of 09 talas both qr if i were to buy the new 15mm lowers other than doing a standard full service with new seals etc do i need anything else? Just looking at it as i could stiffen up both sets of forks with new lowers for 300 quid.

you'll need the new lowers, decals are extra, float fluid and maybe new crush washers

10mm socket, mallet and this [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/workshop-service-the-seals-on-your-fox-32-fork-25020 ]guide[/url] kinda helps

though if the new lowers have freshly lubed foam rings you can miss that bit out

Lowers come with seals and bushings,just need fork oil and float fluid for the foam rings.
