XT8 '09 Leaking shocks???

so what is the parts number for the orange kyosho o-rings? And Im I correct in assuming that we should just rebuild the shock as per the manual but just replace the xray o-rings with the kyosho parts and thats it? No different brand spacers or anything like that? Im not adding limiters to the bottom of my shocks, Im not convinced that has anything to do with leakage. If anything its the inner seals that arent tight enough and after reading this thread, it seems the kyosho o-rings seem a tighter fit.

P.S. Is this the part?

Here you go:

Just replace the xray o-rings with the kyosho ones.

one pack is sufficient?....Also, although I havent experienced the leaking diff issue...in case I do just to take some precautionary measures, what o-rings should be used in the diffs?

Yea it works a treat.. Th Kyosho ones are a defo fix. I swapped mine over after 1 day.. and never had leaky shock since!

One packet will be enough to do all the shocks.

I think the guys were using for the diff. Have a look on the XT8 thread on rctech.
