Have you been able to find seal kits for the Marz 55R? I have the 2009 55r and seal kits are at a premium price. Can't find anything under $35. My buddy gets SKF seals for his Lyrik super cheap.

Here is my New to me 2011 Faith.I took the DHX air off and put the Roco R back on. I'm looking for a nicer shock for it now. I've got big plans including new fork (fox 36 or Totem) bars, stem and other tid bits.

I'd advise saint shifter with zee mech. Feels the part without so much worry of ripping your mech off.

i had seen some on CRC a while ago but i had my LBS do a service and he changed the seals for me. not sure where he got his from though, cheapest i could find was 60 AUD

Saint mechs aren't that expensive anymore, like $150 AUD online (~$110 USD), and they are worth the extra little bit. I have run both and the Saint does feel more refined and shifts smoother and quicker. If you have a tight budget the Zee is still a good option though and at $50 you can't go wrong.

Go the Saint shifter if you find yourself double shifting a lot going into harder gears, however if you don't like having 2 clicks on the up shift trigger go the Zee shifter.

Yeah, my shop is doing the service this week. SKF seals were still $70 USD. Kind of a bummer.
