Question about upgrading suntour forks to rockshox

Just about to buy some better forks for my specialized crosstrail elite disc 2103 and although I wanted reba dual air I can't find any for right price (or in stock for that matter) so have decided on these;
Buy RockShox XC32TK Solo Air 100 TurnKey PopLoc Remote 29er Disc Suspension Fork 2014 at Tredz Bikes. £181.55 with free UK delivery
Question is will they fit? I notice the rockshox have a 9mm qr whereas the specs on my bike say 5mm qr?
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks

I don't know whether your bike can take a fork like that or not, but one thing you should consider is that you will be messing with the geometry, by not an inconsiderable amount.
