Belray fluid ftw! Up to a higher viscosity like 15w or 20w for a firmer front fork feel.
Theseals should be the only thing you need. I got mine off e-bay for like $8 shipped.
A seal driver will help immensly! I used my old seals upsidedown and a HD cardboard tube wrapped in electrical taape to drive the new ones in, it worked, but sucked and took a lot of time. A seal driver would take about 1/8 the time I believe.

if you have not done it yet, when you do it mix a 10 and 15 weight to get a 12 and you should like it pretty good.
