I always start with a rebuild kit just in case. First time I took my t3 shocks apart due to no oil in 3 of 4, my O-Rings where shredded (from improper assembly - remember, piston end through o-rings, not threads!)and I had no rebuild kit. Never know what you may have bad or what you may lose in the process, so have everything you may need ahead of time!

Hope that helps a little bit... :cool:

btw... Lowes Home Improvement Center carries the right size O-rings if it ever happens to you on race day, as it did me.
