I was told by Fox that they recommend a 5wt but some others have recommended using a 7wt, does anyone have input on this?
Also I purchased "Item# AHD-F20-625IR" from shockseals.com and these seem to be the correct seal kit they came with 2 wear bands per kit.

3. So it seems that I could run 5wt shock oil OR Napa PS fluid, correct

4. To those of you have rebuilt your coilovers, what was the hardest thing about it and what tips do you have?
Sorry for restating this stuff if it seems simple. I've never done anything like this before so I want to be prepared for anything. Thanks.
