Eh, I would say either a fork or a new shock.

don't get a huge seat, those are for moto bikes. get a new fork like a supert and a chain guide.

id buy a chain guide first and than a fork like the 66rc or breakout plus with the 170mm version.

DONT get a jr. t because it is essentially a 20mm drop off. get something w/ HSCV damping. and avoid boxxer race as well, if you plan on dh'ing. save for a super t. even a used 2002 (or 2002.5, when they got the m crowns and 32mm stanchions) would be nice.

Sell your fork and get a chain guide and a super-t. If you don't have a single chainring, you should get a guide for only a single ring and use a single ring. If you want two, get a e-thirteen drs or a mrp lrp.

On ebay, you can find good super-t's for under $300.
