Forks & Upgrades?

I'm slowly making up my mind about upgrading the front suspension on my bike.

I think -and I maybe wrong!- that it might be good idea to find some "better forks" and then have those undergo the upgrading work. The reason being that my Showa forks don't have a compression adjustment.

Now I'm not whizz kid on a bike -far from it- but if I am out laying £500 ish on a conversion, I might be better having it done on forks which are fully adjustable.

So anyone know:
What forks are an easy (or easier) swop onto my bike that have potential for full adgustment?

Anybody have some of those ^^^ forks forsale?

Lastly I would welcome your opinions, do I need the full adjustability, or should I simply have the current forks upgraded/conversion and save money and more than likely be totally content in any case?

Rear suspension is being upgraded to a Nitron (thanks to your advice Flip & finding one for a good price thanks to Zimbo).

Looking forward to receiveing the benifit your combined knowledge!
